Every student must understand the importance of academic integrity and academic writing.

Academic integrity or honesty involves acting in an honest, fair, respectful and responsible manner in your studies and academic work. This means applying those values in your own work, as well as when you engage with the work and contributions of others.

These values are expected from both teachers and students. This means approaching studies, research and professional life in an ethical manner, having the courage to make the right decisions and showing integrity in one's actions as part of the community of the University of Donja Gorica.

Academic integrity is about who you are as a person and how you conduct yourself in the moments that matter most. The ability to write in an academic style is essential to disciplined learning and is critical to academic success.

A few aspects make academic writing important. However, we must first understand the importance of academic writing before we start using it. The main purpose of this type of writing is to help improve the understanding of our reading audience, whether it is a reviewer or the general public.

Academic writing follows a formal tone and style, but it is not as complex as many people think. Hence the idea behind this course. Control over academic writing gives students the ability and power to act in building their knowledge, skills, determining education, practices in specific disciplines, social position and career progression.

That's why this course is important for you.
