Plagiarism Resources

Detecting plagiarism is not always easy, but in some cases it is obvious -- especially for instructors who have become familiar with their students' work. For example, an instructor acquainted with a student's writing style and participation in classroom discussion may find something fishy about specialized vocabulary, scholarly language or terms of expression out of character for that student.

Teaching and Assessment Resources

Assessment Resources including the Course Assessment Matrix, "How to Use the Course Assessment Matrix," Plan for Assessment and Use of Assessment are located in the S: Drive via the Staff Portal.

Also, the Information Literacy Tutorial, a tutorial provided by LRTC staff, is helpful to make the most of all that's available through PTC's LRTC.
