The following resources can assist faculty in promoting academic integrity as well as in preventing and detecting academic dishonesty.
Academic excellence fundamentally depends upon the values of academic integrity, as the “Ten Principles of Academic Integrity” illustrate (below). Teaching practices such as communicating clear expectations, setting high standards, giving meaningful assignments, demanding attainable outcomes and ensuring fair assessment support both academic integrity and academic excellence. Some helpful practical suggestions to advance these ends can be found on this page. As well, there are useful tools and tips to help prevent, detect and confront academic dishonesty.
Please visit the Contacts page to help identify specific people and offices at AU that can provide additional assistance with teaching or adjudication issues related to academic integrity
Promoting Academic Integrity
Two Simple Steps from the Academic Integrity Code: “Faculty should remind students in their classes each semester of the Academic Integrity Code and may require that students sign a statement that they have adhered to the Code when writing a specific examination or paper.” Most of the academic units and the General Education Program request that faculty include a statement about the code in the course syllabus (a sample statement is available at the gen-ed Web page on Faculty Resources)
