Join our MEZCOPH-specific FLC focusing on The Opposite of Cheating by Tricia Bertram Gallant and David Rettinger (a.co/d/9MTieeH; Volume 4, University of Oklahoma Press, 2025).

Each week we will read a different chapter with the aim of moving beyond policing misconduct to designing learning experiences that promote meaningful intellectual engagement. We will discuss the grief we may be experiencing and come up with strategies for bringing joy into our classrooms alongside authentic learning. We will consider how we can adapt assessment practices that mirror real-world public health work, how we can restore trust-based learning with students, and how we can design courses where integrity becomes the natural default rather than a rule to be enforced. The roles of ethics, good character, critical thinking, original writing, and sound decision-making will all be on the table as we contemplate how to best prepare our students to face complex moral challenges with integrity in an AI-enhanced professional landscape.
