Connection And Importance Of Academic Integrity

Superior Essays
Integrity is the magic that let people start to trust from each other and keep making progress till further and further. This magic sometimes is hard to control if you are not aware of it and once you break it, the whole world will be changed differently. I use quotes, MSU policy and my person experiences and perspective to explain the connection and importance of academic integrity.

The quote from the “Brother Karamazov” really inspire me a lot about how lie can affect everything around you. As many lies we actually make up, more pressure can really put on you and your life. Because you are not just hurt yourself, you are also hurt people around you. “Respecting no one, he loves no one, and to amuse and divert himself in the absence of love...”

We can easily see the importance of been honest in MSU and also in the society throughout the policy and regulation in the MSU website.

Besides, take myself as an example, I did the assignment with my friends’ “help” without my professor permission, once professor notice there is “an act of academic misconduct, the instructor is responsible for taking appropriate action. Depending on the instructor’s judgment of a specific instance, the instructor may give the student a penalty grade.” We shall always not do something that professors or TA not allowed to do and keep yourself honest and …show more content…
From what we read before VanDemark is found plagiarism, because he violates the basic rule "cite the source and do not mimic the original language". VanDemark does not cite things in his written books properly and it is plagiarism. It is not something that a senior professor should do in Naval Academy. (Brian, 2003) And I totally agree that he deserve this punishment, plagiarism is not a well-known author and professor should be not pay attention on. Everyone should be honest and always not to violate others '

    I believe Sheridan does abide by the academic integrity about plagiarism and that the consequence are liable, but at the same time they are not completely fair or understanding towards students. There are many things can affect the writing of a students work, There is no one that is the same so students of the college all have different thoughts and ideas, especially students have different knowledge that they may believe is common sense as well as the academic penalty that can affect the student. Student should receive a penalty for plagiarism but a 0% if the essay is not fully plagiarism is not fair if the student wrote most of the essay. The essay itself will receive a 0% , that can severely affect the student and their overall mark. Some student may already have knowledge on said topics, so to reference it would be difficult because they do not know that it should be referenced.…

    There are numerous reasons why students cheat. In the article Instructing Students in Academic Integrity, according to the authors, “ Cheating tends to be justified when students feel that the material that they are learning is not relevant to educational and personal goals”( Craig, Federici, and Buehler 50). When students don’t feel like an assignment is necessary, then they will simply ask to copy another student's work just to get it done and get the assignment points. This is a very popular trend, especially in a course that doesn’t matter or interests the student. When asking people around campus, the cut throat environment of college and getting into graduate school is the main reason students…

    Mercy College defines integrity as, “Moral wholeness, soundness, uprightness, honesty and sincerity as the basis of trustworthiness.” I personally feel that integrity encompasses not only all of these characteristics, but also the ability to apply these characteristics in one’s everyday life.

Integrity is a value everyone should strive to perfect both professionally and personally.…
