Guide to Avoiding Plagiarism
While at the University of Victoria, I created a guide for Avoiding Plagiarism, excerpted above. With helpful tips and original examples, this guide was lauded by tutors at the UVic Writing Centre as containing the best explanation of paraphrasing they had ever seen.
While the PDF version is available from UVic’s site, it is primarily used as a print-ready copy. Despite the increasing demand and alleged preference for online content, many people still appreciate handouts in print. Additionally, most libraries have enormous web sites that students may not take the time to explore, making it advantageous to have hard copies in eye-catching information displays, to give patrons at the reference desk and to pass out during workshops.
