University students’ plagiarism at a “terrible” level: educatorsVietNamNet Bridge - Only a small percentage of university students and postgraduates in Vietnam are able to write essays that meet ethical academic standards, educators say. Nearly all university students admit that they refer to theses on the same topics written by older students when doing their own work. Ngo Quy Nham, a lecturer at the Hanoi University of Foreign Trade, said that plagiarism is at a ‘terrible’ level. “At primary, middle and high schools, students are given sample essays so they can create similar work. “Many students copy other authors’ works verbatim, with no words being changed,” she said.
