And over time, I\u0027ve developed an appreciation for the ways that people communicate.

Once submitted, I investigate and seek resolution on the case. The first step is to get curious about the perspective of each individual involved and talk with them. I often also connect and consult with campus units, like the Office of Disability Services or the Dean of Students, to investigate further and to ensure that the solution adheres to campus policy.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EDescribe what your day-to-day job entails.\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMost of my days involve some combination of consulting, coaching, interviewing, and writing.

To avoid getting frustrated myself, I try not to get attached to one party\u2019s needs, so that it\u0027s easier to determine what will help everyone involved. I also remain focused on my own emotions, particularly when it\u0027s\u0026nbsp;clear that others\u2019 emotions are running strong.

The result typically is a creamier, heavier body, and rich cup of coffee compared to a paper filter.

research-oriented college or university faculty member typically requires having spent time as a postdoctoral researcher.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBut a new study from a Georgia Tech-Cornell University team shows that the research faculty path isn\u0026rsquo;t the only reason students pursue a postdoc.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn a survey of nearly 6,000 doctoral students in a broad range of fields, more than a third of the students with plans to pursue postdocs said they had more interest in careers outside of academic research.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe finding is surprising because it challenges the notion that postdoctoral research is a stepping stone primarily for research faculty positions, said Henry Sauermann, associate professor at Georgia Tech\u0026rsquo;s Scheller College of Business.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;There\u0026rsquo;s this common belief that Ph.D. students pursue a postdoc because they want to have a faculty career,\u0026rdquo; Sauermann said. \u0026ldquo;The answer is it\u0026rsquo;s much more complex.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAlthough more than 60 percent of survey respondents rated a research-oriented faculty position as one of their most attractive career paths, more than one-third rated other careers as more attractive, including research in government, established firms or startups, as well as teaching and other non-research careers.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe results of the research were published in May in the journal, \u003Cem\u003EScience\u003C\/em\u003E. The work was sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;For a lot of these Ph.D.s, the postdoc is an opportunity to consider other options and explore other career paths,\u0026rdquo; said Michael Roach, the co-author of the paper and an assistant professor in the Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management at Cornell University.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;It\u0026rsquo;s an easy natural next step for them, and it gives them flexibility to keep that academic option open,\u0026rdquo; Roach said.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESauermann and Roach were prompted to look into the motivations of students pursuing postdocs because of what they saw as an imbalance between the number of postdoc researchers and the number of research-oriented faculty jobs at colleges and universities across the country.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;Many people believe that students don\u0026rsquo;t know what the market looks like and that this is why they hope to get a faculty position and do a postdoc,\u0026rdquo; Sauermann said. \u0026ldquo;We wanted to understand what was going on inside students\u0026rsquo; minds as they were making these decisions.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThey surveyed Ph.D. students beginning in 2010 at 39 research-intensive universities in the United States. The students were surveyed again in 2013 after many had already begun a postdoc or entered other full-time positions.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe respondents were also asked to estimate how likely it is for them to get a tenure-track position within five years after finishing their Ph.D. While the respondents were knowledgeable about the limited availability of faculty positions in general, some appeared to be overly optimistic about their own chances of getting a faculty position, Sauermann said.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe study highlights the need for more data on students\u0026rsquo; career preferences in order to compare graduates\u0026rsquo; career goals to their actual career transitions, Sauermann said. More data is needed to determine also how useful a postdoc is for non-academic careers, he added.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWhile students need to consider career plans early, they also need better information to understand the various career paths and their job prospects, Sauermann said.

Read on for their strategies.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhy Do Students Plagiarize?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAt Tech, there are two primary reasons for plagiarizing. Some students do it because they consider the class unimportant, as\u0026nbsp;it isn\u0026rsquo;t one of their core classes. The other major reason is lack of time.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;Most of the students I see plagiarizing are trying to get everything done within their packed schedules,\u0026rdquo; said Andy Frazee, associate director of the Writing and Communication Program in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication. \u0026ldquo;They\u0026rsquo;re stressed, tired, and think they can\u0026rsquo;t get it done in time, so they copy someone else\u0026rsquo;s work.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDavid Smith, senior lecturer in the College of Computing, noted that non-computer science students often view his classes as a formality, and some fail to learn anything because of this. These students copy work done by others or ask others for help with their programming assignments and fail\u0026nbsp;to learn the programming skills they need to succeed.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;Every semester, I\u0026rsquo;ll get students whose failure to do their own work causes them to have to come back and retake my class,\u0026rdquo; Smith said. \u0026ldquo;I had one student have to repeat my class several times, because he refused to do his own homework, and had no idea how to solve the problems placed before him on the tests.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHow Do You Spot It?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAccording to Frazee, the first question any professor should ask himself when presented with suspicious work is, \u0026ldquo;Does this answer the question I\u0026rsquo;ve asked?\u0026rdquo; Plagiarizers often take their material from sources where the question answered doesn\u0026rsquo;t match the one being asked by the professor. So, a paper or answer that fails to fit the question is a warning sign of plagiarism, Frazee added.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAnother sign is sudden changes in the spacing or fonts in a student\u0026rsquo;s work. So, for example, if the font size or type isn\u0026rsquo;t consistent, this can indicate that information was copied and pasted from another document, Frazee said.\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMany professors use plagiarism checking software, such as Turnitin, especially when it comes to work submitted online. These \u0026ldquo;cheat catchers\u0026rdquo; \u0026mdash; a term that Smith uses to describe the software \u0026mdash; will let professors know if portions of essays or homework were copied. However, Smith acknowledges the limitations of these services.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;We first introduced a cheat catcher in our computer science classes in 2000,\u0026rdquo; Smith said. \u0026ldquo;But, the result was that students progressively learned how to get around the program. They weren\u0026rsquo;t learning anything, and those we caught faced severe academic penalties.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWhat Can You Do to Prevent It?\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EJust one instance of plagiarism can have a tremendous impact on a student\u0026rsquo;s academic career. For example, it\u0026rsquo;s unlikely that the student will ever be able find teaching assistant positions or internships on campus, Smith said. For this reason, he does all he can to try and prevent plagiarism from occurring.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EOne way he accomplishes this is by basing his tests (worth 45 percent of his grades) off his homework, which is only worth 15 percent. Students who cheat on the homework usually fail his courses as a result.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;Just waiting for plagiarizers to get caught and then punishing them doesn\u0026rsquo;t work,\u0026rdquo; Smith said. \u0026ldquo;I advocate a two-pronged approach, dissuading people from cheating through incentives, as well as punishing plagiarizers after they\u0026rsquo;re caught. There\u0026rsquo;s no room for negotiation once a student is caught, so it\u0026rsquo;s essential to keep as many students as possible from trying in the first place.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWeston reminds all professors to include a copy of the Student Honor Code at the beginning of their syllabi and to go over the correct formatting for citations and references. It is her hope that this clarification can prevent cases of ignorant plagiarism and prevent many of the cases that come to OSI.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAnd to help mitigate the dangers of time crunches, Frazee has a solution.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;You have to be willing to be a little flexible,\u0026rdquo; Frazee said. \u0026ldquo;While setting deadlines is important, you should make it clear to your students that you can be approached if work is piling up. If you\u0026rsquo;re willing to give an extra day or two to complete an assignment, it can encourage students to write their own work.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFor more information about dealing with plagiarism at Tech, visit \u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/osi.gatech.edu\/\u0022\u003Ehttp:\/\/osi.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E.
