Library’s Understanding and Avoiding Plagiarism Tutorial Now Available in WebCT
The SFU Library is pleased to announce that its Understanding and Avoiding Plagiarism tutorial is now available as a WebCT module for import into any existing WebCT course. This interactive tutorial is designed to help students understand what plagiarism is and how to avoid committing it. Working through the tutorial, students will learn to recognize different types of plagiarism and be introduced to various practical skills — citing, note-taking, quoting, and paraphrasing — that will assist them in the writing process. The tutorial takes about 30 minutes to complete and includes two interactive quizzes to test students’ comprehension. The tutorial has been set up to allow for easy tracking of student completion. By integrating Understanding and Avoiding Plagiarism into your own WebCT course, you can emphasize the importance of these skills to your students.
