Subject: Academic Honesty and Integrity
Date: February 15, 2018
As you will discover, Villanova students are hard-working and disciplined young people. As faculty members, one of the most important ways that we can support their continued moral development is to insist on a culture where students do their work honestly and avoid dishonest behaviors such as cheating, plagiarism, or unauthorized collaboration. Each year we do have a few students who, for one reason or another, violate our expectations. It is important that we both sanction and educate those students, both for their own benefit, and to support the large majority of our students who learn with integrity.
This booklet is designed to introduce you to the ways that we reinforce academic integrity at Villanova. Please use this booklet as part of your efforts to set the highest possible standards for academic integrity in your own classes. The booklet covers these topics:
- Frequently Asked Questions
