Information for students

All students and staff have access to a website 'Academic Integrity at Flinders'. It is available from your topic listing in Flinders Learning Online (FLO - previously WebCT).

The module contains:

• definitions of academic integrity and its importance
• tips on how to avoid plagiarism
• tips on how to avoid collusion
• tips on how to avoid being accused of academic dishonesty
• examples.

Plus:

• practice tests to aid your understanding
• an actual test.

Teaching staff may choose to make this a part of the curriculum in particular topics.

If students require help with the content within the website contact the Student Learning Centre.

Flinders University has also purchased electronic text matching software , called SafeAssignment, to assist in the education about, and maintenance of, academic integrity.
