What is academic honesty? What do students know and think about academic honesty? What are effective ways to enhance academic honesty? This workshop will discuss approaches to introducing and reinforcing academic honesty in classes and reasons and forms for academic dishonesty. During the workshop, we will consider some effective hands-on approaches, in aprticular, an interactive tool based on selected academic honesty challenges students frequently encounter in different disciplines.
