Academic Integrity

Academic Integrity is an important issue in higher education. But, how do you explain the importance of academic integrity to your students? Do they even know exactly what it is? We can't assume that all students have the same understanding of this complex topic. 

Here are some resources to help you communicate with your students, so you are all working from the same understanding.

• Scribbr has videos that explain plagiarism including types of plagiarism and how to avoid it.
• Purdue Owl is a great source for explaining plagiarism, writing rules, and citations.

Don't forget Missouri S&T's Academic Support page about Student Resources for Academic Integrity, this page includes a link to the Missouri S&T Honor Code as well as definitions of Academic Integrity.
