• check first with your instructor if you would like to make use of collaboration, tutoring, or editorial help from others
• make use of on-campus academic support services – Libraries, the Writing Centre, or Learning Skills Services
• keep a research log, notes on your readings, and drafts of your written work, to document your research process

Following the guidelines and resources included in this module and other SPARK modules will help you adhere to principles of academic integrity in all facets of your academic work.
