Help students understand the importance of academic integrity to their studies by:

Introducing integrity

1. Make sure students know that the Academic Integrity Policy covers all work they submit. Show them the Academic Honesty Statement in MyUni.
2. 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.
3. 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?
4. Play the “Is This OK?” game in class to allow students to discuss different scenarios and check their understanding of integrity and best practice. Encourage students to check their understanding of academic integrity and your expectations.
5. Embed our activities on key skills such as paraphrasing and referencing to help students prep for assignment success.

For example Dr Adrian Koerber, Course Coordinator in Maths, recorded a video about academic integrity and shared it as a MyUni announcement in the first few weeks of semester. This allowed Adrian to introduce the academic integrity expectations for the course, refer to particular assessments and remind students to complete the Academic Integrity Module.
