Strategies for Maintaining Academic Integrity in First-Year Computing Courses

Moving biochemistry and molecular biology courses online in times of disruption: Recommended practices and resources ‐ a collaboration with the faculty community and ASBMB

“…In order to minimize academic integrity issues, consider reserving take-home exams for assessments that require students to evaluate and/or synthesize information. 10 Quizzes and tests may have a time limit and can include essay questions, numeric responses, file uploads, multiple choice questions, multiple answer questions, and much more.

If you have a large question bank from years of teaching a course, you can upload them into a question pool from which the LMS draws to generate the quiz 10 . In this manner, academic integrity issues can be minimized because the student is less likely to encounter the same question twice.…”

“…They can allow flexibility for when the student works on the exam, and they do not require extended reliable internet access. In order to minimize academic integrity issues, consider reserving take‐home exams for assessments that require students to evaluate and/or synthesize information 10 …”

Victorian Aboriginal life and customs through early European eyes

More recently, Sheard et al (2017) have elaborated on what prevention looks like in practice; that is, discouraging cheating, reducing its benefits and making it more difficult, as well as (more positively) empowering and supporting students. Hence, this book can be seen also as preventive, taking a proactive approach by equipping students to act with integrity through improved understanding of collusion.…”

The False-Positive Rate of Automated Plagiarism Detection for SQL Assessments

“…Plagiarism is a significant and growing problem in Computer Science education [2,5,13]. A lot of research effort has been invested into trying to understand the causes of plagiarism and propose solutions [3,6,9,11,16,17]. Much of this effort has been directed towards Permission to make digital or hard copies of all or part of this work for personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage and that copies bear this notice and the full citation on the first page.…”
