Presentation transcript:

 In a recent study, 40% of college students admitted to plagiarizing in written assignments.  In a separate survey done as part of the same study, 47% of high school students admitted to copying and pasting from the Web.  Of those high school students, one third said they didn't consider it cheating.  Of 196 plagiarism cases at the University of California, Davis, most involved students who intentionally copied although they knew it was wrong.

 You can check cross-check the information and find it in more than one place.  You can find the copyright and know when it was last updated.  You know who created the site, and preferably, the author's credentials.  Look at the domain. Is it a.org site or a.com site, with ads, for example?  Are you comfortable citing this source in your bibliography?  Does the layout and format present the information in a professional manner?  Is the site easy to navigate and user friendly? If not, it might not be the best place for gathering information (e.g., The Library of Congress is great, but hard for elementary students to navigate).  Is there any evidence of bias on the site?

 While thinking of a topic it is ok to start with Google, Yahoo, etc. This will give you some ideas and may spark your interest.  Be careful with Wikipedia or other public domain sites, anyone can edit it.  Once you have some idea(s), you should explore other venues…
