No, I don\u2019t mean a tutorial to teach students how to plagiarize<\/em>. 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<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Butler University\u2019s library<\/a> has made just such a<\/a> tutorial available online<\/a>. 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\u2019t stop plagiarism, but at least hopefully it will stop the whining complaints that they \u201cdidn\u2019t realize\u201d they were plagiarizing, which professors hear so often that we start to wonder whether such pleas are themselves plagiarized, too!<\/p>\n

In other news, the T&T; Clark Blog<\/a> today highlighted a new release<\/a> in which I\u2019ve contribributed a chapter. The title is Who Do My Opponents Say That I Am?: An Investigation of the Accusations Against Jesus<\/em> (Library of New Testament Studies)<\/a>\"\". At a mere $130, I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll want to run out and grab your copy as soon as it is available\u2026<\/p>\n
