How to help your students (don’t have time, don’t see how it’s related to what they want to do at college, don’t know how) avoid plagiarism:

• For content-heavy classe, maybe focus on quotation/copy & paste to prevent students from just copying chunks from their textbook.
• Provide templates, samples, examples of good and bad citations, metaphors: They Say/I Say, red shoes in ebay, muddled up address on envelope.
• Student Checklist and Flavors of Plagiarism 

Documentation is not just about having a reference list:

• Did you use sources that are good enough for college research?
• Did you link up your in-text citations with your reference list?
• Is every reference in your list discussed in your paper?
• Did you read critical and analyzed the source instead of just droppping a quotation to fulfill the minimum paper requirements?

Common problems:

• Formatting: Headers & Seriation
• Citing indirect sources (primary vs secondary sources/citations)
• Organization/Corporate author
