Description
This workshop will showcase the collaborative models in addressing student success across the spectrum of innovative curriculum instructional design technology on plagiarism and contract cheating. Through building a culture of collaboration between librarians, faculty, and academic affairs, this program will outline the best practices in instituting an Academic Integrity Library Workshop that tackles the guidelines to support student success from the challenges of plagiarism to library resources and services and contract cheating endeavors. The Academic Integrity Library Course is a one-hour session in face-to-face or Zoom format taught by the John B. Coleman Library's Reference and Instruction Librarians, who engage in information about Prairie View A&M University's academic dishonesty, academic integrity, and the PVAMU honor codes, along with information about library researching skills, citation styles, Contract cheating, plagiarism, and copyright. Participants will be engaged on how to combat plagiarism and contract cheating in their classrooms and how to work with the librarians to host library workshops related to building student success beyond plagiarism and contract cheating issues. Participants will evaluate valid and invalid resources on the pervasiveness of cheating in the classroom. Plus, have the opportunity to look at best practices used by faculty, librarians, academic integrity review board, and academic affairs as it relates to elevating student plagiarism and contract cheating concerns. The International Center for Academic Integrity defines academic integrity as a commitment to five fundamental values: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility. The scope of the problem is academic dishonesty is rampant; students often do not view what they do as cheating. According to the journal Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, Contract cheating is the purchasing of custom-made university assignments to submit them. Websites providing contract cheating services often claim this form of cheating is undetectable, and no published research has examined this claim (Dawson and Sutherland-Smith, 2018).
