Academic Honesty Roundtable


Thursday, February 22
3:00-4:00
MLC Great Room

Hosted by Steve Price and Monie Hayes

The discussion of academic honesty issues at Monmouth College looked specifically at:

	the campus climate, in terms of how academic dishonesty is handled and perceived;
	benefits of engaging students in an ongoing, classroom-based discussion of academic dishonesty;
	and, pedagogical strategies for promoting academic honesty.

The overriding point of the discussion was that academic honesty is a skill that can be emphasized and developed, often within the context of regular course material.
