Academic Integrity


It is important to familiarize yourself with the University of Toronto’s policies and procedures on academic matters. The Code of Behaviour on Academic Matters  
pertains to all students and faculty at the University of Toronto and is reprinted in all academic calendars.

The University of Toronto also has a website dedicated to Academic Integrity and associated U of T resources, including Definitions of Academic Offenses.


The Governing Council also provides information on the Code of Student Conduct
at the University of Toronto.

Deterring Plagiarism with TURNITIN.com

The University of Toronto has a site license that enables all faculty and students to use Turnitin.com, a plagiarism prevention system.

Course and Assignment Design

Faculty may wish to consult with colleagues and/or their department when developing or redesigning courses and assignments. In addition, outlines from previously offered courses can also be a useful resource. The CTSI has also developed tip sheets for course and syllabus design.

Dr. Margaret Procter (Coordinator, Writing Support, UofT) has prepared a document to assist instructors with assignment design. These tips are available online at: www.writing.utoronto.ca/faculty  


Evaluation of Student Work
Instructors may wish to consult with colleagues or CTSI regarding the evaluation of student work. Tips for “Grading Papers without Killing Yourself” and “Commenting and Evaluating” on student papers are available online at: www.writing.utoronto.ca/faculty

A document that discusses various assessment issues and techniques is available through the Faculty of Arts & Science at:
www.artsandscience.utoronto.ca/teaching/assessment.htm 

Simon Fraser University (SFU) produced a final report for the Vice President Academic's Task Force on Academic Honesty and Integrity. Please visit the SFU website for more details.
