Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
I evaluated a brief homework assignment designed to reduce citation problems in research-based term papers. Students in 2 developmental psychology classes received a brief presentation and handout defining plagiarism with tips on how to cite sources to avoid plagiarizing. In addition, students in 1 class completed 2 brief homework assignments in which they had to identify information in 1 page of text that required a citation. Results found that students who completed the homework assignments had fewer problems with citations, believed that they had a better understanding of situations that comprised plagiarism, and had more confidence in their ability to avoid plagiarism.
