An online Moodle course to help students avoid plagiarism.
Feedback from students who have completed the Academic Integrity course is positive:
The Academic Integrity course takes about one hour and can be completed by any Oxford Brookes student - foundation, undergraduate or postgraduate - and can be taken at any point during your time at Brookes, but the earlier you take it, the more you will benefit from what you learn.
Academic writing at university is different to the assignments and other projects that you may have written before. You’ll be expected to know how to quote, paraphrase and expand on arguments that you have researched in the literature as well as present your own thoughts and conclusions. Without meaning to, it can be very easy to present your writing in such a way that might initiate academic conduct investigations. Without being aware of the pitfalls, it can be very easy to make such a mistake.
