At the end of this section, you should be able to recognize the responsibilities you have as a member of the university community in upholding academic integrity. |
Academic misconduct can be divided into two categories: intentional and unintentional. Intentional misconduct refers to deliberate violations of the rules and is relatively easy to identify and avoid. On the other hand, unintentional misconduct may be more challenging to recognize and prevent, as it often stems from a lack of awareness or understanding of academic integrity rules and expectations. Remember, pleading ignorance is not an acceptable excuse, and the onus is on students to understand and follow the academic integrity expectations in each of their courses and for each of their assessments.
Watch this video about intentional and unintentional misconduct and the tips for maintaining academic integrity.
In this activity you will practice identifying cases of academic misconduct especially where there may be ambiguity. Use pages 6 and 7 of the Regulations to analyze each scenario.
