On Teaching discussion to focus on the "Inadvertent Plagiarist"


"Inadvertent Plagiarist" is the topic of the next On Teaching box lunch discussion, scheduled for 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 25, in the Red River Valley Room, Memorial Union.

In this session we'll discuss some of the common misconceptions students have about research, using and citing sources, and what is considered plagiarism. We'll also present suggestions for helping students understand issues of fair use and basic rules of citation to help them avoid plagiarism in their work.
