If you’ve ever waited until the last minute to write a paper, done research by cutting and pasting text into a Word document, or found material on the Web and not known whether to cite it, this workshop--usually offered in early October--is for you.
Your Professors, Preceptors, and Lab Instructors
Your instructors can give you guidance on which citation style to use and whether it's okay to get feedback from a classmate or collaborate on a problem set or lab report. If you're unsure of your instructors' expectations, just ask.
