SPEC Kit 336: Responsible Conduct of Research Training · 35
If yes, please briefly describe the type of event(s). N=20
Answer is yes and no for both University Library and Health Sciences Library. Yes for orientation classes and, for Health
Sciences, also for lab meetings.
As mentioned, often orientation sessions, major theses courses, etc. But, they are also offered outright for those who
are seeking support without being tied to a specific curricular point.
As noted in previous responses, the only consistently offered RCR-specific/required training is copyright/rights
management for art history graduates.
For the JDs, the plagiarism sessions are connected with orientation. For the foreign students, they are connected with
seminars. Other sessions are offered on a voluntary basis.
General (open) workshops, orientation sessions, classes, seminars
Graduate student orientation, first year undergraduate writing course
In general, orientation sessions at the beginning of academic years or semesters. Also, in the School of Public Health,
the required class, Introduction to Biomedical information. This class is required for all Masters in Medical Science
students.
In some faculties/departments there are required courses, others may be orientation sessions.
Most of the time, but can be open.
New student orientation TA training individual class sessions by request or as part of the curriculum. Also provide
general sessions.
Orientations
Orientations, classes, &seminars
SKILLSETS workshops from Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies and Teaching and Learning Undergraduate research
programs (Arts/Science/Engineering)
Some tutorials and sessions are embedded in the orientations for students and the first year student curriculum.
Sometimes. The Authorship class is offered during the RCR/PHIL 6000 course. Citation management software is offered
at graduate orientations for some departments.
Sometimes, such as orientations, Open Access Week
Sometimes. We often discuss citation and bibliographic management software at department orientations, if a Libraries
representative is included (that varies widely). Sometimes we offer sessions during overall graduate orientation, or
orientations via the international student center, and undergraduates get information from the Libraries (including brief
mention of bibliographic software, etc.) during undergraduate orientation.
The library workshops are part of a larger set of workshops offered by the Office of Graduate Studies. We work with
individual faculty to schedule instruction for their classes, some of which are required.
Yes, some are linked to required classes.
Yes, we have done some workshops during a “TA Day” a few years ago but nothing systematic since. We also try to
schedule workshops during reading week mid-term to attract struggling students.
