As you begin purchasing college “stuff” for your child, add this workshop to your “getting ready for college” to-do list. Your child will be writing (regardless of major) more than ever in college, so they will need the skills taught in this workshop!
Since AI’s popularity has increased monumentally, college professors have been worried how the use of this new technology would impact students since it offers attractive shortcuts to citation, paraphrasing, and quotation skills, not to mention the actual writing of papers. In response to academic misuse of AI, many colleges and universities have redefined their definitions of plagiarism and updated their academic conduct codes.
Before your student heads off to college, prepare them for success with our Academic Integrity Workshop. This 90-minute workshop will cover relevant topics such as:
1. What is plagiarism?
2. When and how to cite
3. Paraphrasing, quoting, and referring to ideas in others’ works.
4. Citation Software (Endnote, Mendeley, Zotero) and Self-checking Tools (Turnitin.com or iThenticate)
5. How to use AI and how not to use AI
