In all of your work in your study group, it is essential to maintain academic integrity. Academic integrity is a fundamental value of the University of Guelph.
If you do not maintain academic integrity, you are at risk of being charged with academic misconduct, which can lead to failure of a course, suspension from the university, or expulsion.
How do you maintain academic integrity in your study group? These activities are usually considered to uphold academic integrity:
- discussing course content together
- brainstorming ideas for essays, research assignments, or exam questions
- sharing personal notes
- sharing self-made study aids
- creating study aids, such as cue cards, condensed study notes, or concept maps, together in your group
- working on practice problems together, as long as the problems are not submitted to be marked
