Review

Academic integrity is very much like good nutrition and exercise: people talk about it a lot but do not always practice it. By now, you should have a grasp on academic integrity, and be familiar with our university’s Academic Integrity Policy (opens in a new window).

While most people would associate academic integrity with writing, it plays a vital role in speaking and communication. As with writing, if you do not cite and substantiate your sources, your speeches lack credibility.

Respond
In a 3-5 minute speech, in your own words, describe academic integrity in speaking: 

• What does it entail?
• Why is academic integrity important to you?
• What does it offer the speaker?
• What does it offer the listener?

Also, cite three specific ways that you can practice academic integrity in your speaking.
