Earlier in the term, I shared the resources on academic dishonesty, which asked you to think about how ethical issues apply to the work that you do as a student. Today’s post returns to these ethical issues to remind you how they apply to your Recommendation Report and other projects that use work someone else has created.

Watch these three, connected LinkedIn Learning segments on the Ethical Use of Information (9m 2s, for all three):

• Copyright and fair use (3m 44s)
• Plagiarism: What it is and how to avoid it (2m 24s)
• Image appropriation (2m 54s)

These videos are free with your VT login. Follow these instructions to login.

Apply the advice from the videos as you work on your rough draft. Be sure that you have documented all of the information and resources that you use in your project.

As a reminder, the Recommendation Report Scenario asks for a bibliography that provides documentation for all of the resources you have consulted. You may use the bibliographical format that is appropriate for your field.
