discover how to use plagiarism detection software

learn about your department and college academic policy

Talk to your professor or graduate advisor about how violations are handled in your department; knowledge of the policies helps you be aware of situations that may constitute violations and be prepared before you have to deal with a student in violation of these policies. At ASU academic integrity violations are resolved at the college level. Know your college procedures, see College Specific Processes.

enforce academic integrity standards

Yikes! You just found out that two students turned in the same paper. If you ignore this you send a message to students that this behavior is acceptable. But how do you handle this? See ASU guidelines.
