Facilitated by the Ursula C. Schwerin Library and Writing Across the Curriculum
In this cut-and-paste world where words and images are so accessible, often students do not fully understand the implications of plagiarism. In this workshop, we’ll discuss academic honesty and strategies for helping our students avoid plagiarism in their work. Topics covered will include how assignment design can discourage plagiarism, how to teach students to correctly use citation and paraphrasing, and how to respond when plagiarism is discovered.
Workshops are open to all City Tech faculty members.
