October 06, 2023 4 Easy to follow. Difficult to keep up with when opening other links apart of the tutorial.
October 06, 2023 5 I think it is very interesting how even if you change a few words from the original source, it is still considered plagarism.
October 06, 2023 5 This is very useful as it details what is and isn't plagiarism. It also outlines the guidelines for students who do need need to cite sources for their research papers.

September 28, 2023 5 interesting tutorial!
September 28, 2023 5 It was really interesting.
September 28, 2023 5 This tuturial helped me to understand what should I do, if I use material form sources in my writing and when writing is plagiarizh or not.
September 28, 2023 4 That was pretty insightful about not getting in trouble because of not giving credit to people, yet the part about "common knowledge" can be completed, because the notion itself can be stretched. It's not only about capitals or known facts. I would add something like "If you are not sure if the topic that is being discussed is a common knowledge, cite it anyway". I mean, yeah, you should be governed by common sense here, yet come on, some ideas can altered or stretched pretty wildly.

September 07, 2023 5 effective
September 06, 2023 4 I have already gone over plagiarism and the guidelines multiple times and have completed this tutorial before which is why I gave 4/5 stars. But I think that to someone that has never completed this and is a freshman, it would be more helpful and most likely a 5/5 stars.

September 01, 2023 5 It was great comprehension check after the lesson.
August 31, 2023 4 It was helpful
August 30, 2023 3 There are still so many ways plagarism is left to interpretation, of both the passage being read and the paraphrasing. Many of these examples could have been argued both ways while others were obvious, making this a hard concept for even academia. But I appreciate the exercise.
August 30, 2023 5 It helped with understanding plagiarism better.
August 29, 2023 4 It was clear but a bit lengthy
August 29, 2023 3 I thought that the video in the beginning part of the tutorial was great, but the SideCar activity was not beneficial.
