Attention graduate students! New this fall is an academic integrity (AI) website designed specifically with your needs in mind.
The graduate students’ AI website was created to provide graduate students with guidance on crediting sources, collaborating with others, and avoiding cheating, fabrication, and the falsification of information.
Expanding greatly on the foundations covered in the undergraduate academic integrity tutorial, this website provides a general introduction to AI issues as they relate to graduate students’ experience, with the recognition that specifics can vary discipline by discipline.
It is complete with four video lessons – Avoiding Plagiarism, Collaborating with Others, Cheating, and Fabrication – and provides a wealth of useful supplementary resources and policy information.
The website was created by librarians Christine Jewell, Leeanne Romane, and Jackie Stapleton as part of a larger AI program established by the Office of Academic Integrity.
One of the main benefits of the website, as described by Jackie, is its focus on appropriate behaviours and ethical conduct as they apply at the University of Waterloo.
"This may be different from what students may have encountered at other universities. What is acceptable conduct at another university could be inappropriate at the University of Waterloo," she explains.
Check out the website soon and refer back to it whenever you have questions.
