Academic Integrity & Plagiarism

Course Information

Why is there a NEW tutorial and who created it?

The previous tutorial was used from 2020-2023, and it was time to update the content. The NEW tutorial was created collaboratively between the Academic Integrity Unit and the Library. It replaces KPU's Academic Integrity Tutorial that was actively used from 2020-2023. For more information go here: https://www.kpu.ca/academicintegrity/introduction-to-academic-integrity

 

Is the NEW tutorial different from the previous one?

Yes, it is very different, both in scope and depth. While the previous tutorial contained parts on writing and citing, the NEW tutorial focuses solely on Academic Integrity. Topics covered are: 

  1. What academic integrity means at KPU 
  2. Why academic integrity is important 
  3. The most common examples of academic misconduct 
  4. What happens if you are involved in academic misconduct 
  5. Why people might engage in academic misconduct 
  6. Strategies and resources to help you uphold academic integrity

Students can learn about writing with integrity through workshops offered by the Learning Centre, and about citing by working through the APA Citation, MLA Citation, or Chicago Citation Style pressbooks, attending citation workshops at the library or making an appointment with the Academic Integrity Librarian
