Dear All,<br class="">
<br class="">
For your information, below is a copy of a message sent to students
yesterday in response to us being made aware of a case of academic
dishonesty:<br class="">
<br>
------------------------------------------------------
<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Students, </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">As
members of the academic community, students are responsible for
ensuring that their work follows the University’s policy on
academic honesty. As you may be aware, we recently discovered that
a number of questions from online tests were uploaded to a
tutorial support website in order to procure solutions. This
constitutes academic dishonesty.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">The
University & Department take these issues very seriously and
will take whatever steps necessary to preserve the integrity and
reputation of your degree. Note that these websites generally have
an “honour code” stating that they should not be used for the
purpose of academic dishonesty and thus have been willing to work
with the University to provide us with the necessary details.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">If you
are unclear as to what constitutes academic dishonesty please read
the following guidance: <br class="">
<a href="https://www.strath.ac.uk/media/ps/cs/gmap/academicaffairs/policies/20130801_AcademicDishonestyGuidance_v2.0.pdf" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://www.strath.ac.uk/media/ps/cs/gmap/academicaffairs/policies/20130801_AcademicDishonestyGuidance_v2.0.pdf</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">If you
have any questions or concerns about this, please get in touch
with your PDA or year coordinator.</p>
Prof. John Jeffers & Dr. Alison Yao<br>
