The SOURCE Writing Center presents a discussion concerning

PLAGIARISM……knowing what it is…knowing how to avoid it.

It’s a word we hear thrown about a lot at the university. It’s the most serious concern of faculty and administrators. Now students will have a chance to learn more about the idea of academic dishonesty and how to avoid it while having the opportunity to ask questions about their own concerns.

We will hold two discussions:

MARCH 17th @ 3 p.m. in the Library’s e-classroom

&

APRIL 14th @ 3 p.m. in the Library’s e-classroom

Hope to see you there!

The U.S. House of Representatives has just passed a very important piece of legislation to help bring transparency to the textbook market. read more at Stingy Scholar blog.

The College Opportunity and Affordability Act (H.R. 4137) includes three critical provisions to help students deal with textbook prices.
  • First, it requires publishers to tell faculty the price of textbooks when professors are choosing books for their classes.
  • Second, the bill makes publishers sell the parts of bundled textbooks separately.
  • Third, the bill encourages colleges to give students course booklists the semester before the class starts so they can shop around and look for better deals.

Please be aware that the writing workshop scheduled for Weds. Feb. 6th -in the e-classroom has been relocated to the Conference Room instead.
