Addressing Research Integrity in an Introductory Biology Lab

The Teaching for Integrity series is an initiative of the academic integrity program to foster a college-wide discussion of best practices in teaching and learning with integrity.

Part of the Teaching for Integrity series, this is a presentation and facilitated discussion for faculty from all departments led by Laura Beaton in the biology department at CUNY York College. Professor Beaton presents an exercise in which students in an introductory biology course are presented with five examples of research or academic misconduct and asked to explore their repercussions. Discussion participants will be encouraged to share their own experiences and recommendations.
