This web tutorial on How to Recognize Plagiarism Tutorial and Quiz (Webpage) from Indiana University provides excellent and detailed information on how to recognize and avoid intentional and unintentional plagiarism in your own writing. Your task is to complete the tutorial by reading all sections, attempting the practice examples, and completing the certification test. You can advance through the tutorial by clicking the “Next” link at the bottom right corner of each page within the tutorial. In many cases, there are links to examples, articles, and real-world instances of plagiarism, so be sure to view all links before moving on in the tutorial.

Be sure to try several practice tests before attempting the certification test. Recognizing plagiarism is trickier than it seems! Upon completion of the certification test with 9 out of 10 responses correct, you will be prompted to provide your name and LBCC email address to receive a certificate of completion that can be saved. It is this certificate that you will submit for review by your Assessment Evaluator.

When you receive your certification email, you can save the email by clicking the “Print all” icon, located in the top right corner of the email:

By clicking the print button, the email will open in a new window, where you can change your printing destination to “Save as PDF”. Save the PDF as “Recognizing Plagiarism Certificate” and submit it. Your Assessment Evaluator will verify your submission, but in the meantime, you should focus your attention on the writing process in preparation for submitting your introduction and body of your research paper.
