Abstract
When most students think of the word “plagiarism,” negative emotions such as fear, confusion, and or frustration tend to come to mind. This is no different for faculty. For both faculty and students, plagiarism can elicit negativity-tinged repetitive and cyclical behaviors. The questions become: What can faculty do to demystify plagiarism for students and change knee-jerk reactions (for both faculty and students) where plagiarism is concerned? What can faculty learn from students to assist in learning why and how not to plagiarize? What best practices strategies can faculty employ to dissuade plagiarism? This session seeks to address how faculty can start an engaging, positivity-infused conversation about plagiarism (both conventional and unconventional examples found in the classroom), address how source use is viewed in other cultures, and how faculty can reach out to students in a proactive, non-threatening manner should plagiarism happen in the classroom.
