ACADEMIC INTEGRITY At Griffith, student academic integrity means a lot. For example, acting with honesty, trust, fairness, respect and responsibility is important in all your learning activities.
COURSE NOTES 1
The Academic Integrity Student Tutorial is an online tutorial to help you understand more about academic integrity, why it’s important, the types of academic misconduct and the University’s policies. It’s important to acknowledge the author or creator of source materials. Referencing is important to help the reader of your work understand the materials you’ve used to support your ideas.
If you have questions about academic integrity, speak with your Tutor, view the resources on your Learning@Griffith course site or visit the Library website.
