Module 4: Reporting Misconduct

This is the fourth and final of a series of four modules in the Ethics Training series provided by the School of Education

Here, in Module 4, we examine Reporting Misconduct

It is important for students to report any observance of academic misconduct because it upholds the principles of fairness, honesty, and integrity in the academic community. Reporting such misconduct ensures a level playing field for all students and maintains the credibility and reputation of the educational institution. Additionally, addressing academic misconduct helps foster a culture of academic excellence and reinforces the importance of ethical behavior in the pursuit of knowledge and learning.
