Summarize The Issues Surrounding The Violation:
A team assignment (Developing a successful strategy for team learning) was selected by team-4 for course EM-575 (Performance Management in Technical Organizations). Team-4 was made up of three (3) students in which each member got one sub topic to cover in order to complete the assignment. Few other additional activities associated to the paper like compiling, editing, proof reading and submission was also equally distributed to the members.
An effective and continuous communication among the team members was required for a successful completion of the assignment. Team members decided to meet once a week to review the progress, issues and path forward. In the beginning, it was little difficult …show more content…

I would also need to develop my skills for team assignments so a better alignment can be achieved to void such incident in future. I would also seek advice from the teacher, if I find difficulties for a research based assignments.
Washington State University is dedicated to provide a higher quality of education to its students and expects the same return from them by following strictly academic policies and conduct. WSU also wants to produce high caliber students so they can serve the nation by their education, knowledge and research. I think, this is the main reason academic integrity is the corner stone of higher education and a core value of Washington State University and reflected in the institutional strategic plan.

In my personal opinion, integrity means to do the right thing always with honesty and authenticity regardless if it is at work, school or home. According to Cambridge dictionary, integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong moral
