This session focuses on what plagiarism actually means in an international context, and will demonstrate that (in some instances, at least) plagiarism is the result of cultural differences and not a crime! This session is based on a recent review of plagiarism-focused literature, and gives guidance on how to make your teaching, your expectations, and your materials more accessible and more explicit.
I’m from Arts / Social Sciences, and I’d come because: I issue several take-home writing tasks, and I’m concerned about the inherent opportunities for plagiarism.I’m from MVLS / Science & Engineering, and I’d come because: after several high-profile misconduct cases in the media, I’m increasingly worried about how to best equip my students on the issue of academic integrity.
This session is open to staff of the University of Glasgow. For the avoidance of doubt as to eligibility, it would be helpful if you could please register using your staff email address.
Tea and coffee will be available.
