One way to approach "the cheating issue" in our courses is to promote a culture of academic honesty from the start. But how do we do that? Kevin shares some practical tips you can use for a comprehensive approach to creating and maintaining a culture of professional and academic integrity in your A&P courses (or any courses, really).
What the Best College Teachers Do (the Ken Bain book mentioned in this episode) The Syllabus Episode (mentioned several times in this podcast) Academic Integrity (A special topic page at The A&P Professor website; includes additional information and links to resources) Why be honest? (about academic integrity; for students) Kevin’s Academic Integrity statement (This is a statement I have used in my course syllabi. You are welcome to adapt it according to your own course and institution’s needs. It’s an example to get you thinking about actively promoting honesty.)
