Dear Robert, We had a bad case of this many years ago. Here is what we now do for our honours dissertation project: 1. When submitting the final report, also hand in all data sheets completed by individual participants. This includes the consent forms. 2. Hand in copies of articles not available in our library. 3. And of course all students have been familiar in a number of courses with our famous long handout on academic honesty. Sincerely, Stuart ______________________________________________ Stuart J.
