UC Davis Campus Judicial Board

The Campus Judicial Board is looking for students to join our 2021-2022 board. We help bring the student perspective to the disciplinary process on campus by participating in formal hearings for disputed cases of academic misconduct. CJB members work on a panel with University Faculty to come to a decision about the case. We go through one full day of training each quarter, as well as meet weekly to reinforce the skills needed to participate in formal hearings, such as objectivity, active listening, questioning, evidence evaluation, and more! If you have any questions, please visit our website: https://ossja.ucdavis.edu/cjb

Hey Aggies! As we get ready for finals and the end of fall quarter, make sure to keep your desk area clean to avoid distractions while studying or taking exams. #academicintegrity #ucdcjb #ucdintegrity

As we inch closer to finals, we have more tips on how to avoid academic misconduct! Many companies that claim to help students with homework, essays, or tutoring are actually taking advantage of them. They market directly to students as a source of legitimate help, but promote academic misconduct and even copyright infringement. Here are some tips from the International Center for Academic Integrity for both students and instructors to help avoid these problems: -During ex...ams or other closed-note assignments, do not look to internet sites for the exact question given to you by instructors and copy the answer -Do not post the exact (or very similar) exam question online for someone else to answer for you -Instructors should create strong syllabus statements telling students to avoid these sites and let students know that even looking at them for course help could be an academic offense. -Instructors should talk to students about the difference between looking at an answer online and understanding the thought process necessary to generate the answer, which is the goal of learning. -Instructors should promote a wide variety of resources (writing workshops, tutoring centers, counselling services etc.) for students to support their academic success and maintain academic integrity.
