Course description

Participants discuss the concept of plagiarism using current definitions, frameworks, and writing pedagogy. They examine the relationship between culture and plagiarism, and the developmental stages of first language and second language writers are explored to contextualize phrases like ‘synonym replacement,’ ‘patchwriting,’ and ‘too-close paraphrasing.’ Key concepts like intentionality and evidence of learning are also considered.
