The Citation Project at CCCC 2011

I’m delighted to discover that all four panels proposed for CCCC and deriving from the Citation Project have been accepted. Even though two of them appear in the same time slot, it’s a great opportunity to demonstrate the diverse threads of scholarship that are emerging from the systematic analysis of students’ use of sources. Here are the panels; mark your calendar!

Thursday, April 7:

1:45-3:00
C34, “The Citation Project: Results of a 16-College Study of Students’ Use of Sources.”
Chair: Chris Anson
Rebecca Moore Howard, “The Background: Why We Need Data-Driven Research to Understand Plagiarism”
Sandra Jamieson, “A Statistical Profile of 160 Students’ Researched Writing, with Implications for Teaching.”
