An attention getting film short will be incorporated into a classroom power point presentation in order to motivate learners to properly cite resources. Hand-outs will include resources to ensure the students future success. Students will be walked through the school website so they can access additional resources. A 15 minute small group activity will follow the 8:30 minute film training presentation. Formative assessments will incorporate whole class game show question and answer sessions. The 45 minute game show will follow the film objective order while incorporating student results from the small group activities throughout. The pilot will be delivered during the spring semester of incoming students during orientation during 2010. //After plagiarism training, the students will be able to://

The course will be administered and evaluated by Nancy Adams, HU campus librarian. Nancy Adams provides the course during orientation of incoming students. Each incoming student will be required to receive plagiarism training during orientation. Nancy Adams will keep plagiarism records and signed pledge forms on file should a plagiarism incidence occur. HU will pull student pledge forms as a documentation to support any disciplinary decisions. Mrs. Adams will keep a plagiarism journal of requests from professors to check on suspected plagiarism. Small group activities: Four small group activities will be formed. Each group will have a different topic. Small groups will be called in the order of the modules during breaks in the formative assessment game.
