Avoiding Plagiarism 

Plagiarism is using someone else’s ideas or words without giving them proper credit. Plagiarism can range from unintentional (forgetting to include a source in a bibliography) to intentional (buying a paper online, using another writer’s ideas as your own to make your work sound smarter). Beginning writers and expert writers alike can all plagiarize. Understand that plagiarism is a serious charge in academia, but also in professional settings. 

Purdue Online Writing Lab as created an excellent overview of plagiarism and how to avoid it.

Modern Hebrew

• Yours Truly or בינינו

  Set of supplementary materials for students at the novice and intermediate levels developed at The University of Texas at Austin by Esther Raizen. The vignettes themselves are available as sound files, and most of the exercises require repetitive listening. Each unit presents up to ten keywords, available both in text format and as sound files. The final exercises in each unit focus on comprehension, the ability to identify and define the main themes of the vignettes, and creative writing. 

• Hebrew Language at the University of Texas at Austin

  An overview of Hebrew resources at UT-Austin including tools developed for the Modern Hebrew Project. The Modern Hebrew Project, which produced open resource tools for the study of Modern Hebrew language and linguistics, was initiated at the University of Texas Linguistics Research Center in the late 1990s, and some of the materials developed within that framework are still available through this site. 

Biblical Hebrew

• Biblical Hebrew for Beginners

  Introduction to the basic grammar of Biblical Hebrew. Our approach is descriptive in that we highlight phenomena that a learner who accesses the Hebrew Bible may observe. We expect engagement at the novice level, and therefore focus on identifying, listing, and grouping as the tasks we expect the learner to be able to complete. We also expect the learner to recognize a small number of words and phrases with their meanings. We do not make an attempt to describe linguistic phenomena in historical terms, nor do we involve the learner in the scholarly discourse on Biblical Hebrew.
