About Academic IntegritySlide2

What is academic integrity?Slide3

3

Academic integrity (

學術誠信

)

refers to the honest and ethical manner in which academic work is done, whether it is an assignment, an examination, an oral presentation, or a research project or report.

It is a fundamental value that all students at

PolyU

are expected to uphold.Slide4

4

Some forms of academic misconduct include:

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

5

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

Falsification (

竄改

)

& fabrication (

捏造

)

e.g. making up research data or editing experiment results to make one’s work look more favourable

Aiding academic dishonesty

e.g. writing an assignment for a classmate

Unpermitted collaboration or help

e.g. asking someone to write or rewrite your essay for youSlide6

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

9

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
