No, I don’t mean a tutorial to teach students how to plagiarize. They clearly seem to know that instinctively. I mean a tutorial to help students grasp, through specific examples and questions they have to answer, what plagiarism is.
Butler University’s library has made just such a tutorial available online. I share it here in the hope that other professors and teachers may find it useful and perhaps direct their own students to it. It won’t stop plagiarism, but at least hopefully it will stop the whining complaints that they “didn’t realize” they were plagiarizing, which professors hear so often that we start to wonder whether such pleas are themselves plagiarized, too!
In other news, the T&T; Clark Blog today highlighted a new release in which I’ve contribributed a chapter. The title is Who Do My Opponents Say That I Am?: An Investigation of the Accusations Against Jesus (Library of New Testament Studies)
