Get new solutions to academic integrity issues on your campus
Helping Students Learn from Ethical Failures
Students cheat. Even before graduating from high school, more than half have cheated on tests, and more than a third have plagiarized. (And those are the ones who admit it.) These days, it’s almost too easy to cheat. Stiff competition for admissions and the imperative of high grades give students powerful motive, while the Internet provides ubiquitous opportunity.
We’re never going to eliminate cheating. But we can create programs that educate students about honesty and character, reduce the incidence of cheating and turn ethical lapses into opportunities for growth and learning.
That’s the focus of this seminar featuring Dr. Tricia Bertram Gallant, academic integrity coordinator at the University of California San Diego and chair of the Center for Academic Integrity Advisory Council. If you’re concerned about academic integrity, and committed to championing it on your campus, you’ll want to get this seminar.
In Helping Students Learn from Ethical Failures, Dr. Gallant explains how to move institutional attitudes about cheating past despair and paralysis to enthusiastic support for change. During this seminar, you’ll learn how to:
- Conduct a self-assessment of ethical learning opportunities on your campus.
- Analyze your institution’s approach to student cheating.
- Overcome resistance to providing values/ethics education.
- Lead a campus-wide integrity movement.
- Build a coalition of stakeholders with an interest in enhancing academic integrity.
