Here's a correction to the title I mentioned in my previous email. The booklet is actually called "Avoiding Plagiarism: a Guide for ESL Students," by Tania Pattison. I think Trent also puts out a booklet called just "Plagiarism," but it is not the version I intended to recommend. Sorry for the confusion. I am not a detail person! Mary >>I would like to recommend a small booklet published by Trent >>University Academic skills Centre called Plagiarism. Although it >>deals with that topic in a very clear and helpful manner, it is >>especailly geared for ESL students and teaches them a lot about >>writing an academic paper in a very concise way.It is one of the >>best publications i have seen for ESl students, and it is short and >>cheap. > >Mary O'Malley > > > > >>Hi all, >> >>Saint Mary's is currently looking into resurrecting an "ESL 100" course, >>which seems like it will focus on how to write an academic essay in >>English (with particular emphasis on plagiarism).
