  8. The tendency of instructors to throw open the topic of student research. We argue that any instructor who allows students to tackle "any topic you are interested in" invites plagiarism but also introduces much confusion. Generating a major umbrella question with students doing various subtopics either as groups or individuals under the umbrella is much more likely to result in a smooth beginning and focused inquiry. It also allows for a major analysis across student research projects in the end. Loertscher, Koechlin, & Zwaan, 2007
