Office Hours with Armin Glatzmeier – Mondays, 4 to 5 PM.

Are you currently working on an academic paper and have questions about citing sources, citation standards, handling sources, or properly citing images? Do you want to make sure you’re correctly incorporating information from other texts and avoiding plagiarism?

During the open office hours, we’ll discuss your questions directly using your text as a reference. Together, we can review problematic sources, conduct quick live research, and clarify how to use them correctly in your paper.
