  • Goals for the module (student learning outcomes)
  • A video recording (13 minutes) of the library presentation on plagiarism & citations.
  • The Powerpoint slides of the library presentation (above) on plagiarism & citations.
  • A copy of the Plagiarism 101 handout from the SSC (from 2019).
  • A link to a 3rd-party video (4 minutes) that continues the discussion about avoiding accidental plagiarism.
  • A bibliography with a list of the works cited from the library presentation (above) and with links for additional reading.
  • A 5-question multiple-choice quiz (a 5-point practice quiz in Canvas) to assess student retention of this information.
  • A link to a brief online feedback survey, so that students can share their feedback with the Library.
