what to do about plagiarism by emigres

[Emily Tall]

Have any of you ever let any emigres write on any topic they wished and
then have them turn in papers that look as if they were copied from a
Soviet publication? When I confronted the first student about her
Dostoevsky paper, she said "but that's the way I think, that's the way
they taught us." In the future of course I will safeguard against any
such occurrences by setting paper topics myself or by having them be
about subjects not covered by the Soviets (such as, for example, dissident
literature...) I would really like to hear about others' experiences.
