This tutorial is about academic integrity. It is a very important topic today on college campuses as the incidents of plagiarism and copyright violation have increased with the advent of the Internet and electronic information. You will learn what plagiarism is, both intentional and unintentional plagiarism, and how to avoid it in your academic writing. There is also an interesting history, a discussion of cultural perspectives, some examples of who has been accused of plagiarism, and a discussion on how technology affects the issue of plagiarism.

Notice the section on the WSU policy regarding academic dishonesty and other academic integrity issues.

AAA uses The Chicago Manual of Style (15th edition, 2003) and Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary (11th edition, 2006). This guide is an outline of style rules basic to AAA style. Where no rule is present on this list, follow Chicago. For spelling, follow Webster’s first spelling if there is a choice and use American not British spellings. This guide does not apply to newsletters, which frequently deviate from these guidelines in the interest of space and tend to follow many Associated Press style rules. (AAA Style Guide)
