Concerns

None

Recommendations for use

The quiz is not meant to teach the rules of citations, paraphrasing and plagiarism – this is a quiz to reinforce those ideas once they have been discovered elsewhere. This would be good as a refresher for upper level students, or after an introduction for lower level students. The quiz might be an early exercise in an IL class to indicate where students need more information.
