New infographic includes a visual guide to current student forms of plagiarism and some helpful solutions
[1]Student plagiarism has become a lot more complex than simply quoting a famous author or a famous work without attribution. Thanks to the influx of internet resources and student and faculty reliance on these online sources, common examples of plagiarism are numerous.

Inspired by research done by professors from UIC Online [2], this new infographic explains the different kinds of plagiarism, why college students plagiarize, and how professors can educate their students on the correct citation writing.
