Global Awareness: Helping International Students Avoid Unintentional Plagiarism
Presented by Dr. Melissa Hawkins
Notions of textual borrowing and sharing intellectual ideas are different across cultures. In addition, paraphrasing, and knowing what must be paraphrased versus what does not, is a rather complicated skill to master for any novice writer. With all of the difficulties intrinsic in accurately using sources and in writing with an authoritative voice, employing AI generated text in composition may appear inviting. Explore practical ways to help all of your students navigate academic honesty in the American academic environment.
Lunch will be provided on a first come first serve basis.
Please Note: The UAB Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) presents workshops on teaching practice for UAB faculty (including adjunct instructors), pre-approved graduate students who are currently under contract to teach academic courses at UAB, and teaching staff. Academic advisors and staff who work directly with students are also approved to come to non-teaching focused workshops. CTL workshops are not intended for UAB graduate or undergraduate students.
CTL Point Value: 10,000 pts.
