So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science!

The subtle border lies in the place of analysis and forming our individual beliefs, which distinguishes reflection from plagiarism. To avoid unintended copying or even self-plagiarism, when we accidentally repeat our old writing, it is helpful to compare two papers for plagiarism.
