Academic Integrity

What is Academic Integrity? Examples of Academic Integrity Policy Violation Who does Academic Integrity Policy Violation

Affect? How to Avoid Committing Academic Integrity

Policy Violation

Academic Integrity Overview

It is a commitment to honesty, trust, fairness and responsibility

It is about respecting other people’s hard work in the production of scholarship – where it is published

An expectation placed on all students, staff and faculty - different from high school

Academic Integrity, what is it?

Plagiarism

• Reproducing or paraphrasing sections of another person’s work without proper citation or reference.

• Can be intentional or unintentional

• Can come in many different forms.

• The most frequent infraction of the Academic Integrity Policy

Examples of Academic Integrity Policy Violation


Getting access to a test before it is administered Resubmitting an old assignment for a different/same

class or submitting someone else’s assignment from any class

Impersonating someone else on an exam Unauthorized Collaboration - Working together with

friends or in groups in ways not authorized by the professor

Expect to do your own work. Unless allowed to submit group work/report

Avoid looking at (copying) each other's work when doing your assigment/lab report/essay

Discuss with but do not show your work to others (unless also specified by your instructor not to discuss)


Submitting false documentation such as a forged medical note

Submitting sections of someone else’s computer code as your own

Avoid showing your code to others

Do not leave your computer (login)/work unattended

Dispose of your (old) work properly

Falsifying facts on assignments including lab data Copying data or text from old lab reports


Not citing information

Trying to read someone else’s answers on an exam

Helping someone commit an academic Academic Integrity Policy Violation is the same as committing it yourself

Give/lend assignment, essay or lab report to someone (avoid asking someone to hand in your assignment)

Allow someone to read your exam (avoid sitting close to friends)

Who does Academic Integrity Policy Violation Affect?

You Possible Sanctions include:

Receiving a grade of 0 on the assignment Educational Assignments Grade point reduction Failing the class Having Additional degree requirements Suspension Expulsion

We expect you to know the rules from day one Having difficulties in exams and future courses Affect on future employment

Others The people who help fund your education expect you to learn

and acquire education

How to Avoid?

Difficulties with Writing

Students who do not budget enough time for assignments and lab reports and who are struggling with writing are tempted to copy from old assignments and reports

ESL students may have an especially difficult time writing under pressure

Remember, a poorly written lab report that earns low marks is better than a zero for the lab report (possible failure, suspension and expulsion)

How to Avoid?

Time Management Not having enough time is the most common excuse for cheating Give yourself enough time to finish your assignment Take advantage of the workshops offered by LSS (4th Floor Library)

Ask for Help

When in doubt ask for help If you think something might be plagiarized ask your instructor before submitting

the assignment If you are unclear about how much group work is permitted then ask your

instructor Download “How to Cite” Guides from the Library’s website or from individual

departments’ websites

How to Avoid?

Use Proper Research Methods

Take detailed notes while researching

Ensure that you cite all material that is not yours even when you are paraphrasing no matter how small the phrase

Ensure that you use quotation marks to indicate when you use words that are not your own

Conclusion

Carleton has an academic integrity policy. It is enforced and you are expect to strive to maintain academic honesty at all times

Health and Safety

Public safety is an over-riding responsibility of an engineer. Safety is everyone's responsibility Be safety conscious:

In labs. In workplace Around University When you practice

WorkSmart is a Provincial Government program on occupational health. Incorporated in ECOR 1010 (Introduction to Eng.) and ECOR 4995

(Professional Practice)

HASW

WorkSmart Campus

Students are considered the equivalent as employees under the Ontario statutes on Health and Safety at Work.

Engineers are the profession directly tied to Health and Safety at Work (HASW) in Canada.

To meet the Faculty’s obligations as your “employer”, to prepare you for summer and Co-op work term employment and to prepare you for your professional requirements on graduation, you will be required to complete the WorkSmart Campus.
