Ways to Encourage Academic Honesty
Notify students that you expect them to do their own work.Include reference to the University Academic Honesty Policy in the Syllabus.Spread students out during an exam if possible.Offer two versions of every exam so every other person has a different test.Make changes to exams each semester.Walk around the room during exams to discourage cheating.Check the internet for materials posted about your class.Notify students that written assignments may be checked via software such as Turnitin.
Academic DishonestyPlagiarism: Using the words or ideas of another as if it is the
student's own without giving credit through proper documentation.Using unauthorized sourcesCopying from another student.Use of material not authorized during a test.Serving as or enlisting another to substitute in taking an exam.Altering or misusing a document for academic purposes
This includes altering doctors notes or university excuse notes.
Selling, giving, or lending any material that has questions and answers on an exam that is yet to be given.
Altering or attempting to alter an assigned grade on Auburn's official record.
Other actions the instructor considers a violation if it is written in the course syllabus.
How to Submit a Student to the Academic Honesty Committee
If an incidence of academic dishonesty occurs in your class you need to first make a reasonable attempt to meet with the student and discuss the incident with them.
At this meeting you need to explain the situation and tell them you plan to report them but assume they are innocent and allow them to continue to participate in class.
You should then give the student written notice of the charge and your recommended sanction.
This should be forwarded to the Associate Provost, Student's Dean, Faculty's Dean and Faculty's Department Head.
Complete the online report form and upload your evidence.
