Student plagiarism occurs for a variety of reasons, including lack of understanding of citation guidelines, rushing to complete assignments, having underdeveloped or lacking confidence in writing skills, not understanding the source material, or being confused over an instructor’s expectations, to name a few. Learn more about the reasons for plagiarism and the biggest mistakes students make. Come away from the seminar with knowledge on how instructors can reframe assignment expectations and provide guidance to students to help them avoid plagiarism, how Turnitin can be used educationally, and what resources are available to help students with their writing.
