Academic Integrity

Attend one of our interactive workshops to help build your citation skills and learn how to appropriately collaborate with your peers.

Are you worried about unintentionally plagiarising? This workshop will define plagiarism, explain the differences between quoting, summarising and paraphrasing the work of others and will provide you with a number of strategies for using sources effectively in your own academic writing.

Students are tasked with working collaboratively in courses, yet are also required to submit individual assignments whilst in group-work situations. Understanding the subtle differences between learning collaboratively with other students and ensuring that you are submitting work that fairly demonstrates your own competence is important to your success in university.

Taking exams and quizzes online, participating in online discussion forums and the increased use of social media platforms all provide opportunities for unintentional academic misconduct to take place when learning online. This workshop explores a range of potential academic misconduct scenarios that students may encounter.

Highlight and encourage academic integrity with your students by integrating a bespoke academic integrity workshop into your course. Workshops can be tailored to your specific requirements and can range from 15 minutes to 90 minutes. Instructors can email leeann.penaluna@ucalgary.ca to request a workshop.
