Academic Integrity: What to look for and how to save time

A Connections Seminar

UNSW is privileged to be one of the rare institutions globally that does not expect its academics to engage in integrity-related investigations of their students. In this seminar, Shaun will cover the university’s processes for referring academic integrity concerns. He will also provide tips on how to put together a high-quality referral in as little time as possible. In addition, Shaun will give an overview of some of the more prevalent forms of serious integrity breaches, as well as the most efficient and effective ways to detect them. 

Seminar Pre-Reading Materials

It is recommended that you take a glance at: 

  1. The UNSW Student Code 

  2. The Plagiarism Management Procedure 

  3. The Student Misconduct Procedure 

There is no expectation that you read them in great depth, though it is recommended that you have a look at the table that lays out the levels of plagiarism in the Plagiarism Management Procedure towards the end of the document.
