email, and on blackboard

then the students must be trained in it.

students must use to complete their writing
assignments
• Teach them how to make references and in-
text citations using these specific sources

5. Strategy #5:
• Do provide models and templates
• Explicitly teach formulaic language that can be
“copied”

6. Strategy #6: Follow through
• Follow the academic policy
• Create a culture of follow through
• Do not create adapted consequences
