SURF Interdisciplinary Sandwiches

We’re pleased to announce an initiative by SURF (Swansea University Research Forum) to enhance cross-campus academic and social interaction.

The idea is simple: we invite you to bring your sandwiches, coffee, whatever to the SURF room, on the first floor of Fulton House, on Tuesdays from 1230, starting on November 9th. It’s a chance to get away from your desk, and to meet colleagues from across campus in a relaxed and friendly environment. No programme, no talks: just a chance to chat over lunch.

Please come along – you never know who you might meet…

Best wishes,

Ian Rutt and Kasia Szpakowska

 

P.S. Of course, some weeks, there will be other things going on in the SURF room (such as the SURF seminar just advertised), but we hope you’ll come along to those events as well!

Turnitin and Plagiarism: More than just detection?

Friday 5th November | Council Chamber

12.00-2.00pm

Use of Turnitin is increasing across the University and is being employed in a variety of ways in different schools. This seminar, chaired by Jane Thomas – Deputy Head of the School of Human and Health Sciences and Superintendent of Assessment, will examine how Turnitin fits in with University procedures, the use of Turnitin as a plagiarism checker and its use as a teaching tool, with examples from a number of schools. There will also be an opportunity to work through and interpret some Turnitin reports from anonymised unfair practice cases.

 

To register for the seminar please email salt@swansea.ac.uk  Lunch will be provided
