Plagiarism Avoidance Tutorial
Dear Faculty,
The Libraries are now offering two versions of our updated plagiarism avoidance tutorial. Both tutorials cover how plagiarism is defined; why students may advertently and inadvertently plagiarize; possible penalties for plagiarism; how to use information ethically in research papers / projects; and where to get help with researching and writing. To enhance usability, students can watch videos, read scripts, or listen to audio covering the Tutorial’s content. Students work through 5 modules, taking self-tests in order to progress from one module to the next. After completing the last module, students take an exam on the Tutorial’s material. The final exam, consisting of 20 questions, randomly draws from a bank of 58 possible questions. Students generally require about 1 hour of concentrated work time to complete the tutorial.

Web Version
This version is available at https://lib.wvu.edu/plagiarism. Students will simply visit this link and take the tutorial and quiz. At the end of the quiz, they will be prompted to email their scores to their instructors. This new process will eliminate the need for students to register or for instructors to be added to a list. This will streamline the process for both students and instructors. Both this updated version of the tutorial and the previous tutorial will be available through the Spring 2018 semester. On May 7, 2018, the old version will be removed.
