Make Expectations Regarding Plagiarism Assignment-Specific
• “You are not allowed to use essays written for a previous class.”
• “You are allowed editing assistance only from the writing center, and please acknowledge that assistance at the end of the essay.”

Be a Role Model
• Model correct citation for each assignment
• Cite YOUR sources on classroom materials
• Be careful with your terminology (say “notes” rather than “cheat sheet,” etc.)
• View inadvertent plagiarism as a “teaching moment”

Design Assignments Not Easily Plagiarized

• Do not allow last minute changes in topics
• Give students class time to research in the library (can book the library classroom for up to two sessions per class)
