Join us for our AGM and spring event on this topical subject. Biddy Casselden (Senior Lecturer, School of Computing, Engineering and Information Sciences, Northumbria University) will speak to us about plagiarism from a lecturer's viewpoint, including how using Turnitin assists lecturers in a dissertation module. Richard Pears (Faculty Support Librarian, Durham University) will focus on "It's not about the commas: why referencing is important", looking at referencing as part of the range of library and information skills, and the confusion that many students experience. Anne Flood (Academic Advisor, Plagiarismadvice.org/Turnitin) is joining us to offer tips and insight into Turnitin (plagiarism detection software), including tips on interpreting originality reports and getting stuck in with a practical element.
