Working together always pays off. For the last two weeks, the Department of Marketing, together with the Certification training, has been training teachers of domestic universities Maria Minchenko's in-service training program.

The desire to be on the same wavelength with users of educational services is not an easy task. Modern marketing trends and lifestyles really work in the web-space and help in career guidance, to find new users of additional paid services, to attract the attention of stakeholders, to build a single recognizable style of the department, faculty, individual unit or HEI as a whole.

Associate Professor of Marketing Department Artem Artyukhov took part in a project for high school students "I choose my future" with a speech "Issues of integrity: I want to study honestly." Artem spoke about the virtues of academic integrity, why it is necessary to take on the responsible mission of whistleblower, the detector of violations of integrity, what harm can bring plagiarism in education.

In his speech, Artem noted:

«Integrity is the observance of six fundamental values during training: honesty, trust, respect, justice, responsibility and courage. Young person, who stands on a virtuous path must realize that it is difficult. There may be calls from all sides, even from friends, to simplify their studies through fraud. Learning honestly is much harder than getting grades by breaking the rules.

The educational space needs constant changes. The topic of academic integrity is of interest to teachers, guarantors of educational programs, heads of departments, management of institutions that want to ensure high-quality education and prepare competitive graduates in the labour market. Responding to the challenges, the National Agency for Quality Assurance in Higher Education, together with the NGO Higher Education and the Saxon Center for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, created a free course on Strengthening Teaching and Organizational Management in Universities on the PROMETHEUS platform.

Associate Professor of Marketing Artem Artyukhov became one of the lecturers of this course and presented not only theoretical developments but also practical cases, as a result of successful implementation of the program to ensure the quality of education and academic integrity at SSU.

We offer you to take this COURSE in your free time.
