[2024] Academic Integrity Tutorial: Learning Outcomes

Why Learn About Academic Integrity

The Rationalizations video highlights our human tendency to excuse or justify our actions, even if the excuse is occasionally dishonest. While university environments can create stressful situations that might lead to unintentional acts of misconduct, it is crucial to recognize that rationalizing academic misconduct is never acceptable. Therefore, it is every student's responsibility to become fully aware of academic integrity expectations and how to maintain academic integrity and avoid academic misconduct.

Embracing academic integrity not only helps you avoid negative consequences, such as the loss of grades or academic standing but also ensures that you fully engage in the learning process. By prioritizing academic integrity, you can maximize the benefits of your educational experience and enhance your personal growth and development.
