This presentation explores international students' expectations, beliefs, and practices with respect to assignments or tests as a part of the course curriculum. Faculty can develop a mental picture of the possible reasons students might be engaging in academic offenses. Student stories of how they adapt technology to “help” with writing assignments will be shared. A student presenter will make practical suggestions from her perspective for guiding students.

In this workshop, we will present the challenges and pitfalls faced by international students who come to Conestoga - the Aha! moments and the difficult situations they meet as they join Conestoga. The presentation will help faculty understand and help students overcome these trials and adapt to their life and studies in Ontario.
