A.) explains why you used a particular search tool	EBSCO allows the user to search the Australian and New Zealand reference centre that covers "Australia and New Zealand specific magazines, newspapers, newswires and reference books to create the largest collection of regional full text content available to schools, public libraries, and academic institutions." This will ensure up-to-date articles containing current issues associated with plagiarism in educational institutions.
B.) illustrates the syntax / key words entered	plagiarism AND education NOT copyright
C.) states the number of hits obtained	47
D.) comments on the quality of the results obtained	The articles come from a different angle, discussing the importance of the grade rather than what the student has learnt, the pressures a student faces and as a direct result plagiarism occurs e.g high tuition fees, obtaining the best results. These articles explore the idea that students are attending University or College for a different purpose than in the past and their focus is now on doing whatever it takes to get the best results. Sometimes this leads to plagiarism.
