Designing for Integrity: Time Management
Why do students plagiarize? Research shows that “running out of time” and “procrastination” are often at the top of the list.
As instructors, we can support academic integrity by helping students manage time more effectively — breaking large projects into smaller milestones, offering flexible due dates, or building progress checkpoints into assignments.
One great tool to share with your students is the Judith Anderson Herbert Writing Center’s Assignment Planning Tool. It automatically divides big assignments into smaller steps and syncs due dates to their online calendar — helping them stay on track from start to finish!
