Empowering Students to Use Sources with Academic Integrity

ABOUT THE PROJECT

Background

This course is currently being developed for the Writing Center at Valencia College, Lake Nona. It will be available for Valencia faculty and staff to assign to students via the Canvas learning management system.

Inspiration for the course came from some of the struggles we have seen students face with how to use sources appropriately. Similar questions and misconceptions about plagiarism came up many times. We realized there was a need for a resource to help students better understand the concept of plagiarism and how to avoid it.

Course Goals

After completing the course, students will understand what behaviors constitute plagiarism. They will be aware of resources and strategies available to help them complete assignments without committing plagiarism or other types of academic dishonesty. 

Possible implementations of this course include as preventative education on plagiarism or as an educational component to alternative disciplinary measures.
