Meeting Place of the Seminar:  PSY 226 (inside PSY 220).  Please check with the Office of Student Conduct for times and dates. Also remember that the Office of Student Conduct will not recognize your attendance or participation in the seminar without a receipt from them.  Make sure that you have one and that you bring it with you to the seminar on the day you attend.

 

Academic Credit:  None, but required for those sanctioned by the Office of Student conduct

 

Purpose/Objectives: This seminar for the Office of Student Conduct in the Department of Philosophy is designed to promote discussion of and provide information and education about issues in academic ethics and academic integity relevant to the UCF Golden Rule, the UCF Creed, and one's membership in UCF as an academic community.  Both terms ("academic ethics" and "academic integrity") may be misunderstood to include information only about issues such as cheating and plagiarism.  This, however is not all there is to academic ethics and integrity because issues such as one's obligations and responsibilities to an academic community, the behaviors one performs in or relevant to that community, and the question of the constitution of community itself are all part of the topic(s).

 

Assignments:  Assignments for this seminar normally differ for each meeting.  Please be sure that you are looking at the appropriate page(s) or section(s) of this site or other web sites and blogs (as indicated) for the meeting of the seminar you are attending.

 

Types of Assignments:  Some assignments are to be completed individually.  There may be assignments that are collaborative.  You need not know or be acquainted personally with anyone else who is attending or participating in this seminar to be able to contribute to collaborative assignments.  It is NOT the case that another person's work affects the quality of your own.  Even though some assignments may be collaborative, they are "individual-centered" assignments ensuring that each person receives appropriate credit for her or his own work, but that no person is unfairly advantaged or disadvantaged by the work (or lack of work) of others.
