I liked the format of the workbook. It challenges student to think through their answers rather then picking from a list. It will provide more insight into their views and responses to the questions.

Overall, this is a good workbook. One of the resources it mentions, Wikipedia's list of plagiarism incidents, appears to have been taken down since it was created, so you might have to update it a bit before using it.

Although it does a good job of describing the shades of gray involved in defining plagiarism, it is awfully long, so you might want to only use portions of it, or assign it as homework or classwork over several class periods. 

The level seems appropriate for high school students or lower-division college students.
