Dear All,

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:

------------------------------------------------------

Dear Students,

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.

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.

If you are unclear as to what constitutes academic dishonesty please 
read the following guidance:
https://www.strath.ac.uk/media/ps/cs/gmap/academicaffairs/policies/20130801_AcademicDishonestyGuidance_v2.0.pdf

If you have any questions or concerns about this, please get in touch 
with your PDA or year coordinator.

Prof. John Jeffers & Dr. Alison Yao

Best regards,

Alison
