===== 1. Need for Further Investigation into Perceptions of Academic Misconduct - Future research could explore why cheating appears more emphasized than plagiarism and whether this reflects actual faculty concerns or institutional priorities. - A qualitative study could investigate whether students feel that policies are clearly communicated and whether they understand the nuances of academic integrity expectations. =====
# Exploring the Effectiveness of Syllabi in Preventing Academic Misconduct - While policies are clearly stated, research should assess whether simply listing consequences is enough to deter misconduct. - Studies could examine whether more educational approaches (e.g., case studies, discussions, honor pledges) in syllabi reduce instances of misconduct.
# Comparing Across Disciplines - This study focused on chemistry courses, but academic integrity policies might vary across disciplines. - Future research could compare syllabi from humanities vs. STEM fields to assess differences in how misconduct is defined and addressed.
