(thenews.pl): Polish university students are using Wikipedia and “crib sheet” web sites as the main source for their master’s thesis, a new survey reveals. Students rely on the internet to an enormous degree. Some 44 percent of undergraduates at state-run universities and about 62 percent at private universities surf the web in search of inspiration and material for their theses. Alongside Wikipedia, the Polish website Sciaga.pl (crib sheet) is extremely popular. Perhaps there would be nothing wrong with that if students indicated where their knowledge came from. The snag is that 14 percent of state-run university students and 32 percent at private institutions admitted that they copied from the wealth of already written dissertations without bothering to mention this fact.
