Common Knowledge (Live) (2012)
Description
Common Knowledge is an arts-based performance/workshop written by students, faculty and the Academic Integrity Officer at Brock University as they attempted to better understand the the complexities of multiple perspectives on policies, beliefs, misconceptions and behaviors that relate to academic integrity. Themes included authenticity, intrinsic/extrinsic motivation, peer pressure, citation confusion, betrayal, and grading. These vignettes were performed and workshopped at a teaching assistants’ training session at Brock University
Scenes
Scene 1 – Haunting Quotes
These quotes are from a variety of sources that discuss concepts of cheating. We joke at the end that we did not cite them as we spoke them. We thought that this would be awkward and drew attention to it though the ending. The printed script contains references to the quotes.
Scene 2 – Common Knowledge
How can we really know what is common knowledge? Should we cite Shakespeare, religious texts, Confucious? Confusing eh?
Scene 3 – Subjective Marking #1
We all have life events that impact our learning and as a result, our grades. What factors, if any, should be taken into account?
