Academic Integrity Overview

• What is Academic Integrity?
• Examples of Academic Integrity Policy Violation
• Who does Academic Integrity Policy Violation
  Affect?
• How to Avoid Committing Academic Integrity Policy
  Violation

17
Academic Integrity, what is it?

• It is a commitment to honesty, trust, fairness
  and responsibility
• It is about respecting other peoples hard work
  in the production of scholarship where it is
  published
• An expectation placed on all students, staff and
  faculty - different from high school

18
Examples of Academic Integrity Policy Violation

• Plagiarism
• Reproducing or paraphrasing sections of another
  persons work without proper citation or
  reference.
• Can be intentional or unintentional
• Can come in many different forms.
• The most frequent infraction of the Academic
  Integrity Policy

19
Examples of Academic Integrity Policy Violation

• Getting access to a test before it is
  administered
• Resubmitting an old assignment for a
  different/same class or submitting someone elses
  assignment from any class
• Impersonating someone else on an exam
• Unauthorized Collaboration - Working together
  with friends or in groups in ways not authorized
  by the professor
• Expect to do your own work. Unless allowed to
  submit group work/report
• Avoid looking at (copying) each other's work when
  doing your assigment/lab report/essay
• Discuss with but do not show your work to others
  (unless also specified by your instructor not to
  discuss)

20
Examples of Academic Integrity Policy Violation

• Submitting false documentation such as a forged
  medical note
• Submitting sections of someone elses computer
  code as your own
• Avoid showing your code to others
• Do not leave your computer (login)/work
  unattended
• Dispose of your (old) work properly
• Falsifying facts on assignments including lab
  data
• Copying data or text from old lab reports

21
Examples of Academic Integrity Policy Violation

• Not citing information
• Trying to read someone elses answers on an exam
• Helping someone commit an academic Academic
  Integrity Policy Violation is the same as
  committing it yourself
• Give/lend assignment, essay or lab report to
  someone (avoid asking someone to hand in your
  assignment)
• Allow someone to read your exam (avoid sitting
  close to friends)

22
Who does Academic Integrity Policy Violation
Affect?

• You
• Possible Sanctions include
• Receiving a grade of 0 on the assignment
• Educational Assignments
• Grade point reduction
• Failing the class
• Having Additional degree requirements
• Suspension
• Expulsion
• We expect you to know the rules from day one
• Having difficulties in exams and future courses
• Affect on future employment

• Others
• The people who help fund your education expect
  you to learn and acquire education

23
How to Avoid?

• Difficulties with Writing
• Students who do not budget enough time for
  assignments and lab reports and who are
  struggling with writing are tempted to copy from
  old assignments and reports
• ESL students may have an especially difficult
  time writing under pressure
• Remember, a poorly written lab report that earns
  low marks is better than a zero for the lab
  report (possible failure, suspension and
  expulsion)

24
How to Avoid?

• Time Management
• Not having enough time is the most common excuse
  for cheating
• Give yourself enough time to finish your
  assignment
• Take advantage of the workshops offered by LSS
  (4th Floor Library)
• Ask for Help
• When in doubt ask for help
• If you think something might be plagiarized ask
  your instructor before submitting the assignment
• If you are unclear about how much group work is
  permitted then ask your instructor
• Download How to Cite Guides from the Librarys
  website or from individual departments websites

25
How to Avoid?

• Use Proper Research Methods
• Take detailed notes while researching
• Ensure that you cite all material that is not
  yours even when you are paraphrasing no matter
  how small the phrase
• Ensure that you use quotation marks to indicate
  when you use words that are not your own

26
