Teaching to Promote Academic Integrity
The University of Maryland is one of a small number of the nation’s leading colleges and universities with an honor code. The University takes academic dishonesty very seriously. If a student is found responsible for violating the Code of Academic Integrity, the penalties are severe.
It is important that all members of the University community become familiar with the Code of Academic Integrity to help promote a community of trust on our campus. (UMD Academic Conduct Guide For Faculty, p.7)
As a faculty member, what can you do to promote academic integrity?
How well do you and your course promote academic integrity?
