Review
Review this week’s readings, activities, and presentations, and reflect on your own life experience to address the following questions.
Respond
- Plagiarism and the proper citation of sources is a challenge for all students. What are the biggest challenges you face in these areas?
- What would you still like to learn regarding APA and plagiarism?
- What resources (for example, from the Turnitin plagiarism quiz and/or from Success as an Online Student) are helpful for you and why?
Discuss
Post a minimum of two substantive responses to your colleagues. Responses should demonstrate active participation in academic discourse about texts and/or resources, connect relevant experience and academic knowledge, and communicate meaning with clarity and fluency. Responses could include suggestions for further resources, questions of clarification, or providing context and insight. Avoid simple posts of agreement; if you agree, explain why, and then thoughtfully further the conversation.
