Academic integrity (

It is a fundamental value that all students at

Cheating (
作弊
)
e.g. copying from unauthorised materials during an exam
Plagiarism (
抄襲
;
剽竊
)
i.e. using others’ words or ideas as one’s own without due acknowledgement
This might be new to youSlide5

Some forms of academic misconduct include (cont’d):
Falsification (
竄改

& fabrication (

Why is it important to ensure academic integrity in our work?Slide7
Reason #1
Reason #2
Doing honest work allows us to learn to think for ourselves and get the most out of our learning.
We want to learn in a fair and honest environment at the University (it is not fair to others if a student gets a better grade by cheating).
Let’s do it fair and square!Slide8
I should have ensured integrity in my work!

Reason #3
We need to respect and follow the code of practice in the academia and the profession in which we are engaged.
For example, if we use other people’s ideas or words without acknowledging the source, we will infringe on their intellectual property rights. Slide9

Reason #4
Upholding integrity in our work enhances our credibility as reliable and honest members of the University and the community – a desirable quality employers seek after in employees.
It also protects the reputation of the University and our fellow students.
PolyU
students always do honest work. I’d like to hire you!
Thank you.Slide10
