ACADEMIC INTEGRITY SEMINAR (2018)
PURPOSE
The purpose of this seminar is to provide students a structured opportunity to learn from their experience, develop their ethical decision-making skills, and learn more about academic integrity and cheating at UCSD.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The participants in this seminar will:
Identify:
• underlying ethical and moral principles of academic integrity
• the importance of academic integrity to all stakeholders (self, instructor, UCSD, and society)
• one’s own beliefs about “legitimate academic work” and how these align (or do not align) with academic integrity expectations at UCSD
Explore:
• the contributing factors to academic misconduct on campus
• one’s personal experience—what led to the decision to act and what can be learned
• ethical decision making strategies and the resolution of “right versus right” dilemmas
Develop:
• a personal goal statement/vision for engaging in academic work with integrity
• a strategic plan for addressing weaknesses that lead to integrity violations
• a list of ethical/honest solutions to common ethical dilemmas
FORMAT
The format of this seminar is structured to address individual student needs/unique situations while attending to larger/common organizational concerns with academic misconduct. Students have the opportunity to actively develop notions of ethics in relation to academic integrity by reflecting on ethical scenarios while connecting them to broader ethical conceptualizations. We will accomplish this through a one-on-one peer advisor consultation, four face-to-face class meetings, and out-of-class assignments, allowing student’s time for reflection and learning. Trained Peer Educators, along with the seminar instructor, will work with students in seminar, as well as be available to work one-on-one with students throughout the seminar experience according to the student’s individual needs and requests.
