You couldn't make this stuff up: A colleague was telling me that a student on her module handed-in an essay that was made up of large chunks of text that were copied verbatim from two research papers. Not unusual, I thought (plagiarism is a problem and we try to be vigilant), until she said that one of the papers was one of hers! Now I appreciate that it's an unwritten rule that you should make sure you look for and reference any relevant papers by your examiners in postgraduate research but it's quite stupidly insulting to copy the text from your supervisor's own papers. <grin> at least it's easy to identify!
