So what do you need to do?
To avoid academic misconduct, IMC strongly recommends that students attend academic and learning support workshops to improve their academic skills. You will also need to complete the IMC Academic Integrity Module (AIM) via Moodle.
The Academic Integrity Module (AIM) is a compulsory online module for all IMC students that introduces the basics of ethical academic practice and IMC’s values and expectations of correct academic conduct.
The Academic Integrity Module will help you to:
Understand what it means to work with Academic Integrity
Develop skills and understanding of the rules and customs that form the basis of academic work
Avoid cheating, plagiarism and other dishonest activities that can lead to failure or expulsion from the institute
Become familiar with IMC’s Student Academic Integrity Policy
This unit must be completed by all students enrolled at IMC. It is strongly recommended that you complete this module by week 6 of your first semester (before submission of your first assignment).
You can find details about your responsibilities regarding Academic Integrity in the Student Handbook and via the Student Academic Integrity Policy.
For more information or assistance, please contact your lecturers or IMC's English Language and Academic Skills Coordinator.
