Why A Game?

The Project Plan A NALYSIS - Identify the problem & establish goals for the project D ESIGN - Determine content & establish prototypes D EVELOPMENT - Create the product I MPLEMENTATION - Place the product into practice E VALUATION - Assess the product

The Project Plan

Building the Content Amy Buhler Alyssa Diekman Michelle Leonard Doug Levey Don McCabe Denise Bennett Donna Wrublewski Margeaux Johnson Melody Royster

Building the Content Level One Identify major types of plagiarism List basic rules to avoid plagiarism Identify data falsification and fabrication Level Two Explain the potential consequences of research misconduct both academically & professionally Level Three Apply the rules to increasingly complex scenarios Recognize and acknowledge differences in cultural approaches to plagiarism
