Academic Integrity
Academic integrity is a hot topic on campuses these days. Cheating and plagiarism can take on many forms - are you sure you're playing by the rules?
Incidents of cheating and plagiarism can include, but are not limited to, the following behaviours:
- cheating during exams by
- obtaining advanced copies of the test
- bringing in unauthorized notes
- texting or otherwise communicating with other students or the outside world
- buying or copying essays
- omitting citation information for an idea included in an assignmen, directly quoting sources without using quotation marks and citations
- "unauthorized group work" - pooling information between students
- resubmitting an assignment to multiple classes
- falsifying data
Ignorance is no excuse - it is up to you to know what is acceptable behaviour and what is not.
"I didn't know" is not acceptable when it comes to academic integrity.
If you are at all uncertain about the rules of academic integrity, talk to your advisor and/or read the CapU policy on Cheating and Plagiarism. The self-guided tutorials below can also help you understand this important topic.
