Instruction: Exercises for FYS and Other Courses: Recognition & Attribution (FYS)

FYS Text

Recognition & Attribution

  • Begin to recognize the nature of academic work as an ongoing collaboration and conversation among a community of scholars, and to explore the student’s own role in this context.
  • Understand the concomitant responsibility to provide attribution for all sources used in the student’s own work, as well as the process for doing this completely and effectively.

Citation Activities

  • Students work together to identify the parts of a citation.
  • Students analyze, discuss a paragraph with citations. Why are certain sections cited? If they changed, should they still be cited? Etc. 
  • Group activity: have a group mark up a doc lacking in citations, such as a newspaper article (use Googledocs, Hypothes.is)
