Material Detail

The goal of the Plagiarism Prevention for Students site is to reduce plagiarism resulting from ignorance or poor study/writing habits. The tutorial has four objectives:

1. Help students understand what plagiarism is ? from the black and white of exact copying to the grayer areas of paraphrase and common knowledge.
2. Provide students with specific tools and techniques they can use to avoid plagiarism.
3. Help students understand the basics of crediting sources along with ideas on what to do about some of the difficulties in citing online sources.
4. Provide a feedback mechanism by which students (and their professors) can see how well they understand the issues and solutions to plagiarism. These checkpoints can also help the student decide which issues they need to clarify further with their professors.

This will delete the comment from the database. This operation is not reversible. Are you sure you want to do it?
