Critiquing Scholarly Writing for Academic Standards

Assignment 2: Critiquing Scholarly Writing for Academic Standards

This assignment is going to build on what you worked on in assignment 1. Please use the same five sources (those are the article from the first assignment). This is a two-part assignment with an outline and podcast due. 

Read The Fundamental Values of Academic Integrity, located in the Lesson 2 Course Resources, to understand each of the six fundamentals. Return to the five articles that you evaluated for Assignment 1 and document ways each article is either a positive or negative example of academic integrity.

Instructions

Create a two-page outline documenting the six fundamentals of academic integrity and ways to improve each one. Utilize your five sources as examples of what is done well or needs improvement for the fundamentals. This assignment is going to build on what you worked on in assignment 1. Please use the same five sources (those are the article from the first assignment). I will reattach the Week 1 assignment.

Use a two-page outline to create a podcast of ways to improve academic standards in research and writing. A podcast is a recorded dialogue that can be recorded in NCUOne using Kaltura. Use the Creating Podcast instructions from the CTL to assist.  Be sure to use the five articles of either positive or negative examples of a specific fundamental. Submit both the outline and podcast.  If you are unable to create a Podcast, you can submit the written transcript and outline instead. 

Your podcast should be 7-8  minutes long and have the following components:

Minute 1: Intro: Introduce the six fundamentals of academic integrity

Minutes 2-6: Review ways that the five articles from assignment 1 used the six fundamentals well or where they could improve.

Minutes 7-8: Final Reflections on academic integrity and how you will use the six fundamentals to continuously improve in your own writing

Length: 7-8 minute podcast ( I will do the podcast, you will just provide the text that I will articulate) and 2-page outline document
