More for Thing 10.

Keep the discussion going throughout the year with students and teachers. Here are some more Things around Copyright and Plagiarism:
  • Have your students take one or more of the quizzes and use them as discussion starters.
  • The 10 Myths is another great discussion starter--you have probably heard students express most of these already.
  • If your school does not have a Academic Integrity Policy in place, work to create one and make it uniform across the building. Reinforcing the concepts from class to class and subject to subject will help students internalize not only the concepts, but it will influence their research and results.
  • Consider adopting a school-wide resource for source citations, too. There are many to choose from including Modern Language Association, Chicago Manual of Style, APA, and others. This is more reinforcement for students and preparation for higher learning.
