In today’s world of group projects and web searches, students have unprecedented access to information. This is especially true when you’re using a resource like CourseMentor.com, an online learning platform where you can access over thousands of course-specific study resources contributed by a community of students and educators.
Given this wealth of available resources, how do you make sure you’re using these tools in a way that’s consistent with your school/Institute’s expectations?
Start by making sure you have a solid understanding of academic integrity. Generally speaking, as a student, you’re responsible for completing your own work, and your work should be original. If you’re referring to someone else’s original work, you should correctly cite it. Your school, your professors, and your peers are trusting you to be honest and authentic in your academic career.
Some do an especially great job of showing examples of academic do’s and don’ts.
