Avoiding Plagiarism

For a DEFINITIVE analysis of what does and does not constitute plagiarism, you can't go past Dr Stephen Fox's Webinar, delivered at TurnItIn's Plagiarism Education Week in 2014. This was webcast live, with participants from around the world responding to the session.

Presented by Dr Stephen Fox, and researched by himself and his wife, Nani, this was an extremely good webinar. Below is an 18-minute extract of the full 45 minute session.



A useful resource to have while viewing the webinar is a copy of Dr Seuss's "Green Eggs and Ham". However, as not everyone has a copy to hand, I have created a YouTube video of the first few pages of the book as an electronic flipbook:
