Set up your MyUni course with the right academic integrity information at the right time
To help students understand the importance of academic integrity to their studies, information should be positive, specific, and presented in close proximity to key assessment guidelines.
Introducing integrity
- Make sure students know that the Academic Integrity Policy covers all work they submit. Show them the Academic Honesty Statement in MyUni.
- Introduce students to the Assignment Help tab on MyUni. Explain some of the support options available to help students build the skills they will need to work with integrity.
- Use our introductory powerpoint as a conversation starter to explain some of the positive impacts of academic integrity in your discipline. For example, you could introduce academic integrity by asking students what the academic integrity values (honesty, responsibility, trust, fairness, respect, courage) mean in your discipline. What does integrity mean to a biologist? How does it guide the way they work? What might a breach of integrity mean, both at university, and in the world of work?

Students rely on their teachers to signal what is important to their learning. Discussing academic integrity explicitly - and referring to academic integrity in your course content - lets students know that this is key information. If the teacher shows that they value academic integrity, it is more likely that students will, too.
