MLA Citation Guide -- As
we all know from our own academic writing, citation practices are complex. The

also need to understand how very specific citation guides are so that they can
apply this knowledge to their fields of study.

Plagiarism Definitions and Exercises -- Plagiarism
is notoriously difficult to define. While there are some blatant examples of
plagiarism, there are many subtler forms. As with our other topics, the easiest
way for you to address these questions with your students is to make sure you
have a shared understanding of what plagiarism is before you encounter any
problems. Here are some resources that you might find useful.
