Professor K,
I choose the article colleges sharpen tactics for resolving academic –integrity cases: http://search.proquest.com.ezproxy2.apus.edu/docview/214643726?accountid=8289
My articles talks about a cases and a student in particular Mr. Coster from Central Connecticut State University who was accused of cheating and was spelled from the premises. He’s professor thought and suspected that Mr. Coster was cheating from an A student. After an investigation from the university found that Mr. Coster was responsible for plagiarism. He was spelled and appeal the case, the ruling was not in his favor, so he decided to sue A student in a state court. In conclusion he was rule in favor in a nonjury courtroom because the university failed to examine
To verify that an assignment is successfully submitted on Turnitin.com, a student must check for a digital receipt, which is automatically emailed to the student (Academic Integrity Assignment, 2017).
“I pledge on my honor that I have not violated the Appalachian State University Academic Integrity Code.”
On a research paper, how much information can you “borrow” with or without citing the original author? How do you cite the resources you “borrowed” or quoted from the original author? Will anyone know if you submit a friend’s research paper? No one can see you taking an online test from your living room – should that change how you take a test?
For this activity, read the two chapters listed in the Activity Resource section (Krames,J. A. (2003) Chapters 2 & 5). Each chapter relates to a
After having read the Academic Integrity policy and everything that it includes, I would have to state that my understanding of this policy is that it is a policy of pure honesty and trust. This policy, to my understanding, is exactly what it says it is. This policy is all about integrity. Integrity, by my definition, is doing what is right when nobody is watching. In other words, integrity is doing what is expected of you, even if/when you are by yourself. Integrity encompasses a large group of admirable traits, such as trustworthiness, honesty, and good morals. So, when applying integrity into school, the Academic Integrity policy comes into play.
Academic integrity is something that is supposed to be honored by everyone, students and teachers, but who follows the rules when it comes to education anymore? Cheating is not supposed to happen, but since getting an education is what everyone does now, grades matter. Grades matter because when students have great grades, companies will be more likely to hire them, rather than if they have decent grades. So, people cheat so they can have a chance in life and stay on top of their education and their class. At Oklahoma State University (OSU) located in Stillwater, Oklahoma, and founded in 1890, there is an academic integrity policy that the student’s must apply by. This University is a research institution where students must do their own work and not cheat and the current campus enrollment is 21,046 undergraduates who must apply by the policy and OSU is in the Big 12 conference.
I wholeheartedly understand the seriousness of my action. By violating the academic integrity and submitting someone else's work as my own does not demonstrate who I am as a student more importantly as a student. I accept the consequence for my action, as I realize this a significant violation of what Prep stands for. Their is no excuse for what I did, and I understand that. I regret my actions, and have taken this as lesson to never do this again. I need to take this as a learning experience. I pledge not to violate any of Fairfield Prep's standards ever again. I accept all consequences if there are any future incidences of the violation of any Fairfield Prep policies. I understand that my actions are intolerable and that my trust needs to
If you're not sure whether you may be in violation of the Code of Academic Integrity, go back and check before you submit anything. You should surely be able to know if what you've written doesn't seem like your own writing, and/or you've used other ideas without citing the references.
Plagiarism is an offense because illegal use of another person’s document is an injustice. That is why every college and university publish of the policies about plagiarism. These policies have the similar punishments such as giving failure, suspension, expulsion, and every school is strict about plagiarism. However, these policies also have different punishment methods depending on the number of times a student plagiarize. For instance, at York University and Centennial College, if a student plagiarizes for the first time, these schools give reprimand or warning or a lower grade on the original assignment. On the other hand, at Seneca, George Brown College, and OCAD University, if a student plagiarizes for the first

As defined by the Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, Academic Integrity is the moral code or ethical policy of academia. This includes values such as avoidance of cheating or plagiarism; maintenance of academic standards; honesty and rigor in research and academic publishing. Many believe academic integrity to be a strong, pervasive and understood rule when going to Universities and Community Colleges across the globe; however, in the recent decades, abiding to the rules and policies to uphold academic integrity has slowly become more problematic for students across the board. Thesis?
For me, academic integrity is encompassed by citing your sources and representing what they actually say. If you learned a new concept from someone and they are the progenitor of that idea, you should cite them. Not citing someone can potentially beguile the reader into believing that this is your work. Certainly, you found the research, but, unless you created it, the research does not belong to you. Furthermore, it is not enough to simply cite your sources; you must represent them accurately. I have seen a few times where a scholar quotes another, but they are taking the quote completely out of context. If this is done accidentally, then you are being reckless; but if this is done intentionally, you are being dishonest. With that said, you
Prior to completing the Academic Integrity Program, I thought academic integrity was as simple “not cheating.” I considered it a policy solely implemented to ensure that students learned the material. To me, cheating was mostly plagiarism, or trying to pass off someone else’s work as your own. It was not until I completed the program that I began to understand the long-term effects of cheating on the peers, the professor, and the institution. Now, I understand that cheating affects not just me, but also the other students in my courses and the university’s reputation. I also understand the reasoning behind the university’s strict policies regarding academic integrity violations, as they are in place to protect the student, the classmates,
t is that time of year again for our students to begin writing quarter term papers, research reports and other documents for their classes. One of the big themes each year is academic integrity and plagairism. Some of you are already using Turnitin.com for student papers, for the rest of us, these resources may come in handy for checking the occasional paper or lab report against Google/Yahoo/Bing searches.
Ethics are the principals that build an individual’s character and integrity. It is the code of conduct that a person lives by; it is the way that a person conducts themselves when no one is around. Stealing, lying, and cheating are wrong, yet every day in the workplace these issues occur. Growing competition lends to the need for people to do what they can to get ahead and stay ahead. Ethics are pushed to the side as people try to gain power or to stay out of trouble, all at the risk of tarnishing their character. This same mindset has spilled over into Academia. A student’s desire to successfully earn a degree by any means necessary has caused educational institutions to address these ethical issues by setting policies in place to combat academic dishonesty.
