Description
Welcome to the course All my own work: exploring academic integrity. As you might anticipate from the title, the aim of this short course is to help you explore the issues around producing your own work for academic purposes.
This course goes beyond the ‘nuts and bolts’ of referencing styles to enable you to understand what is meant by ‘good academic conduct’ and to explore why it is so important. Along the way, you will consider how you can avoid common pitfalls and difficulties.
This free course will take you around 6 hours to complete; you are able to work through at your own pace, pausing and restarting to suit your own timetable. As you progress through the material, you’ll see that there are a number of straightforward activities to help you explore important ideas and concepts in more depth.
All my own work: exploring academic integrity is divided into three main sessions. In the list below, you’ll see the suggested amount of time needed for each.
