Highlighting Family Science, Ethics, and Writing Assignments: The Challenge of Large Classes

Presented by:  Bahira Sherif Trask, Barbara Settles, Melina McConatha-Rosle

This session will outline steps to create innovative writing assignments for large classes in Family Science departments.  We will explore the benefits and challenges of creating these assignments in an Internet/computer driven environment. This session will examine the issue of plagiarism and how to create Family Science projects that encourage students to use their own creativity and learning instead of downloading work that is not their own.
