I'm excited about being an academic integrity ambassador because I believe in creating a culture where honesty and integrity are valued. Instead of just talking about the consequences of cheating, I want to show students how to avoid it. By organizing workshops on paraphrasing and referencing, I hope to give them practical skills for writing papers ethically.
My goal is to help students see that academic integrity isn't just about following rules, it's about respecting the work of others and being proud of their own. When students understand why honesty matters in their academic journey, they're more likely to make ethical choices.
Ultimately, I want to be part of building a community where everyone feels confident in their abilities and proud of their accomplishments, knowing they achieved them the right way. By promoting integrity, I hope to create an environment where learning flourishes and everyone has a fair chance to succeed.

Muhammad Amir

Muhammad Talha Aamir, Master of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology
I am honored to join the Academic Integrity Ambassador Program at the University of Adelaide. As a Master's student in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, I am passionate about combining my academic expertise with my Filmmaking skills to foster a culture of integrity within our university community.

My primary goal as an Academic Integrity Ambassador is to educate students in a friendly and approachable manner. I aim to leverage my videography skills to create a short series of informative videos that provide practical tools and strategies to avoid academic misconduct. These videos will be designed to engage students, making the learning process enjoyable and impactful.

One of my key objectives is to spread awareness about how academic misconduct can often occur unintentionally. Many students may not realize that certain actions constitute misconduct, and I want to help them understand these nuances. By raising awareness, I hope to prevent inadvertent breaches and promote a deeper understanding of what academic integrity truly means.

Academic misconduct is not just an act of dishonesty towards others; it is a disservice to oneself. It can lead to regret and negative consequences in the future. Through my efforts, I want to ensure that students recognize the long-term value of integrity in their academic and professional journeys.

By fostering a supportive and informed community, we can create an environment where students feel confident in their abilities and proud of their achievements, knowing they have earned them through honest and ethical practices. I am excited to contribute to this mission and positively impact our academic community.

Also collaborating with multiple students who have unique sets of ideas gives us more value to improve ourselves as one never stops learning with discipline.
