Instructions
This activity is meant to help you get to understand some of the dilemmas that may come your way, or may have come your way during your academic journey. Plagiarism is mentioned which we define as using another's words, thoughts, work, etc. as your own, without giving credit or citing the true source. This can be done intentionally or unintentionally, and knowing how to avoid it is important.

To the Instructor:
If choosing to do this as an asynchronous activity, students can do this as an ungraded/graded survey/quiz (already set-up for it). The other option is either allow students to discuss their answers in small groups or discuss them as a class.
Add questions/scenarios that show examples of proper forms of citation, etc. or questions related to your discipline. This discussion should lead into the notion of Academic Integrity.
