Academic integrity is a key value of post-secondary institutions. However, integrity is an important value to apply to all areas of a student’s current and future life. This course will discuss integrity as a core value in our lives not only as students, but also as workers and global citizens. The course will focus on:
- Defining personal integrity
- Inter-cultural perspectives on personal integrity
- Examining our own personal integrity values
- Applying personal integrity in academic, professional and global contexts
- Contributing to group/organizational integrity
- Personal integrity and leadership
- Exercising self-reflection regarding integrity
I spent the summer preparing for university. As a recent high school grad, I wasn’t prepared for the change and the “real life” nature of university learning. I found this course not only helped me to understand the expectations of university, and my career, but it also helped me to appreciate the implications of the decisions I will be making on the rest of my life.
