UC Right to Know & Plagiarism

Please read this material and be prepared to discuss with students should they need direction.  This is particularly critical in light of the university’s determination to eliminate plagiarism.  Our students need to know how each instructor (you) defines plagiarism and the consequences of violating your expectations.  Contact any of the college’s associate deans with questions or issues.

A copy of the tabloid, UC Right to Know 2007is available online at www.uc.edu/righttoknow.
