Do you want tips on teaching students how to document their sources and avoid plagiarism…without putting them to sleep?

Humber’s Academic Regulations state that it is the student’s responsibility to learn and use the conventions of documentation. This comes as a shock to many students, who are completely in the dark when it comes to citing their sources and who don’t know the difference between plagiarizing and paraphrasing. This workshop will cover the essentials of teaching students how to document their sources correctly, thereby avoiding “accidental plagiarism”.
