Cheating & Plagiarism
OTL Cheating & Plagiarism Initiative
The OTL is currently working with the WSU community on cheating and plagiarism issues. This recent initiative includes:
- developing a brochure to inform students about academic integrity and the university's postion on cheating and plagiarism. Click here to link to the Academic Integrity Brochure.
- forming and meeting with a working group of interested faculty and staff to explore the topic and create resources for WSU faculty.
- providing articles for the OTL newsletters during the 2004-2005 academic year which address issues on cheating and plagiarism.
- creating and maintaining a Blackboard cheating and plagiarism Web site to allow the working group and other interested members of the WSU community to share resources and to exchange information in a password protected site.
This page provides information and resources on preventing or reducing cheating and plagiarism, detecting cheating and plagiarism, and understanding student and faculty rights and responsibilities at WSU
