15. Academic Integrity

16. Academic Integrity Overview • 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

17. Academic Integrity, what is it? • 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

18. Examples of Academic Integrity Policy Violation • 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

19. 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)

20. Examples of Academic Integrity Policy Violation • 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

21. Examples of Academic Integrity Policy Violation • 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)

22. 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 • HavingAdditional 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

23. 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)

24. 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

25. 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

26. Conclusion Carleton has an academic integrity policy. It is enforced and you are expect to strive to maintain academic honesty at all times For more information on academic integrity or to read the Academic Integrity Policy visit the Office of Student Affairs website: http://www2.carleton.ca/studentaffairs/academic-integrity/

34. HASW 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)‏

35. 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.
