Plagiarism

Plagiarism is so serious an issue of Academic Dishonesty that I spend half a
class period just talking and learning about it with my students. I use a tutorial
form another institution for visual learners to visually understand each detail
about what it means to plagiarize and why it is so bad.

 

 

This tutorial artifact allows students to have an active learning experience
about plagiarism.  They take a pre and post assessment (formative) and can
send the results directly to faculty. They can take this training as many times
as necessary because this is an assignment that cements understanding with
the learning and not part of the subject learning material. The post
assessment is worth 10 points so students will take time to get the full points.

 

 

The image below is a screen shot of the tutorial.
