Today in class we will be talking about plagiarism. We will define what is means to plagiarize, talk about the various consequences for people who engage in plagiarism, be it knowingly or unknowingly and discuss some ways to avoid plagiarism in your academic writing. This is a very important topic of discussion and will be dealt with accordingly.
A side note: this is incredibly involved topic of discussion. Unfortunately, we will not have time to discuss it in the depth it requires. Should you have any plagiarism-related questions, please consult this excellent web resource put out by Purdue University's Online Writing Lab (OWL): Avoiding Plagiarism
The follow links will take you to the documents and presentations used in today's class:
