This hand-out may be used with students learning about plagiarising and referencing, especially students who will be beginning university or are already attending university. It is most useful for science students who will be using APA formatting, and is a good way to explain to students the difference between quoting someone, almost quoting someone, paraphrasing, and synthesizing ideas into their own words.

Teach Respect for Copyright in Your Classroom
As a college student, years ago, I was appalled when my professors turned a blind eye to projects that were turned in using copyrighted materials. When I brought up my concerns, I was frequently told that it was just a student project, or just a comp, and therefore didn’t matter. With just a little effort instructors can teach their students good copyright practices and avoid problems down the line.
