preventing plagiarism
What we often call plagiarism may actually be an incomplete or improper understanding of the principles and protocols of citing one’s sources. Nonetheless, the explosion of information available in print and online makes it easier to plagiarize, that is, intentionally lift another’s prose or ideas without proper attribution.
In this section, you’ll find successful approaches to teaching students how to use sources appropriately and to avoid plagiarism.
