Workshop on Academic and Research Integrity
July 21, 2021
9:30 - 10:30 am
Via Zoom
The main purpose of a university is to encourage and facilitate the pursuit of knowledge and scholarship. The University states unequivocally that it demands scholarly integrity from all of its members. Academic and Research dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive to the values of the University; furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to those students who pursue their studies honestly.
This workshop provides:
- an introduction to the Academic and Research Integrity Policies,
- expectations of Instructors when pursuing charges or allegations under either Policy,
- tips and resources to assist you in your course design and interaction with students that will help to reduce dishonesty and increase integrity.
Facilitator: Kimberly Mason, Academic Integrity Officer, Office of Academic Integrity
