University education is often about expressing your ideas in your subject area by combining, commenting on, and evaluating what others have said before you. Effectively using the ideas of others in your academic work builds the credibility and integrity of your own ideas. Incorporating the work of others in your work is often a difficult process and, in this module, we will help you avoid potential academic offences such as plagiarism while developing your own voice.
Modules
Each module spans one week from Monday to Friday and includes 10 hours of expected commitment from participants. They are stand-alone, so students can register for any one, two, or three modules, depending on what students want to improve and prepare for in upcoming courses. Each module includes daily live lectures that exemplify the skill focus and self-study tasks for students to apply to materials related to their undergraduate program area. Each day, the instructor interacts with students and their work. All modules lead to the submission of a small assignment for detailed feedback.
