Plagiarism
What is plagiarism? Why should I care?
Plagiarism is essentially the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own. Besides the intellectual property theft that occurs, as a student you also face academic repercussions. According to the Greenville University Academic Honesty Statement, plagiarism can lead to failing the assignment, the course, or even facing other forms of academic discipline.
This workshop will help you recognize plagiarism, tips to avoid it in your assignments, as well as teach you how to utilize the free tools available to students that assist with citations and referencing resources.
Free Textbooks
Textbooks are expensive. Especially considering you typically only use them for about 16 weeks and will probably never touch them again after the semester is over with. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you had access to free textbooks? Well, you do! Join the Free Textbooks workshop to learn how to find and borrow textbooks for your courses for free through the library and our I-Share services.
Imposter Syndrome
Have you ever felt like you don’t belong and that soon everyone will figure this out about you? Many people feel this way, but in college this feeling can be particularly acute. It can have a negative effect upon our studies as it demotivates us. This “Imposter Syndrome” affects us most deeply when we are navigating a new environment. Developing an identity that incorporates the challenges of that environment into our understanding of who we are, and who we might become, is a process. Unfortunately, these fears that we don’t belong and don’t have what it takes to succeed can be devastating to that process. Thankfully, these fears don’t have to sidetrack us. In this workshop you will learn the signs of “Imposter Syndrome” and how to combat it successfully so that you can achieve your personal and academic life goals.
