q2 · i? · qualitative · r3

Interview finding from the case study. One student described losing marks and ending with a lower grade after an first-time citation error, saying it would likely have drawn only a warning in India. The authors attribute the issues to lack of knowledge of local academic cultures.

"Several international students have expressed frustration at being severely punished for their inappropriate citations of others’ work according to the academic rules of the U.S. universities."
