Location: Odette B02
Instructors: Christin Moeller
As a GA/TA, sooner or later, you’ll realize that (some) students cheat. Aside from trying to proactively deal with cheating through education and other preventative means, the GA/TA job also involves keeping an eye out for cheating when it has occurred – whether it be during final exams or in students’ course assignments and papers. How can you spot academic dishonesty in student papers and other written assignments? What warning signs of potential plagiarism should you look out for? In an effort to facilitate the sharing of knowledge among GA/TAs, this workshop will provide participants with a collection of tips and techniques for identifying academic dishonesty in an interactive and participative way. Designed for both new and experienced GA/TAs, this session incorporates a “Spot the Plagiarism” exercise using a plagiarized paper to illustrate common (and less common) forms of academic dishonesty and hone participants’ “plagiarism detection” skills. Action steps for reporting and dealing with suspected cases of plagiarism will also be discussed.
