SEMESTER STARTS WITH RESPONSIBLE CONDUCT OF RESEARCH

2016.01.27 Wed Class discussion Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) (1) Course Overview: Fulfilling Responsible Conduct in Research Training

Discussion of Overall Course Requirements which include:

  • View the Responsible Conduct of Research and Scholarship Presentation given to department chairs by professor Michael Hadjiargyrou (to be done as a group today) 2010.06.08_hadjiargyrou.pdf
  • Complete a relevant RCR module, and achieve a 80% or higher quiz grade, within the web-based Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative located at http://www.citiprogram.org
  • Following the schedule below and prior to coming to each class: (i) view the appropriate online lecture, (ii) read additional accompanying materials, and (iii) come prepared for the days discussion topics

Readings


Discussion

  • Is plagiarism really that bad?
  • If you copy a paragraph from another sources and modify it by say 10% is that enough to not be plagiarism ? What about 20%, or 30%, or 51% ? At what percentage is it no longer plagiarism? How many words do you need to change?
