A Case Study Transforming Suspected Academic Misconduct among Undergraduate Health Professions Majors into Ethical Program Policy and Practice
Hopwood, Julie D.; Scott, Victoria G.; Ferguson, Paul W.
Journal of College and Character, v12 n2 May 2011
Academic misconduct and technology have coupled to create a significant threat to the development and maintenance of professional responsibility and academic integrity among today's university students. This case study illustrates the gap between faculty and student acceptance and understanding of the use of technology as a study aid and the ways this gap translates differently for each group as applied to professional responsibility and academic integrity. An actual academic misconduct case is presented that became a university model for dispute resolution, utilizing service learning as an alternative to strict sanctions. (Contains 1 table and 2 footnotes.)
