Discussion, Walden’s Policy On Academic Integrity.

The first step toward ensuring academic integrity is understanding Walden’s policy. This week you will summarize the policy in your own words and discuss it with your colleagues. You will also discuss different types of plagiarism that can occur in academic writing.

To prepare for this Discussion:

Review the Week 1 resources, and focus special attention on Section 4 (Academic Integrity) of Walden’s Code of Conduct.

By Day 3

Post a two-paragraph summary, in your own words, of Walden’s policy on academic integrity. Identify three types of academic integrity violations, and explain what students can do to avoid them. Make sure to review the Week 1 learning resources before responding.

Read a selection of your colleagues’ postings.

By Day 5

Respond to at least two of your colleagues’ postings in one of the following ways:

• Ask a probing question.
• Share an insight from having read your colleague’s posting.
• Offer and support an opinion.
• Validate an idea with your own experience.
• Make a suggestion.
• Expand on your colleague’s posting.

By Day 7

Return to this Discussion to read the responses to your initial posting.

 

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
