Pedagogy, not policing: positive approaches to academic integrity at the university

Abstract

Reviews the book, "Pedagogy, not policing: positive approaches to academic integrity at the university" edited by Tyra Twomey, Holly White and Ken Sagendorf (2009). This book is an edited volume focused on—as its subtitle succinctly describes—‘positive approaches to academic integrity at the university’. It is organized into four sections, each section containing two to six chapters, each chapter consisting of 4 to 10 pages. It is, in short, a slim volume with slim chapters. The reviewer points out that the editors not only fail to push each author to craft crisp and cogent contributions, they fail to bring them together effectively as a whole. However, the reviewer also contends that with a great diversity of voices and perspectives, the volume covers an equally great diversity of topics. Overall, The book offers a wide range of perspectives and approaches. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
