Academic Integrity at Seneca

Every member of the Seneca community is expected to practice and incorporate the six fundamental values of academic integrity in all aspects of their academic career:

honesty • trust • fairness • respect • responsibility • courage

As an educator, you play an important role in modeling and promoting academic integrity values for your students. One way of ensuring that your students understand the expectations at Seneca is to embed plagiarism & citation tutorials and/or packages specific to Academic Integrity in your courses.

Seneca Libraries supports Academic Integrity by providing teaching and learning resources that introduce students to the concept of plagiarism and resources that support citing. The easiest way to prevent plagiarism and engage in a scholarly conversation is to include citations for referenced materials. (Please see the  Plagiarism guide)

 

Visit the Academic Integrity at Seneca for Faculty website for more resources.

Citation Workshops

One way of ensuring students are aware of citation guidelines is to recommend they attend an  online citation workshop.

For students that cannot attend a scheduled workshop, recorded versions of the  APA and  MLA workshops are available (Seneca login required).

  Visit the Guide to Citing Sources page for the citation workshop schedule.
