Honor code

Honor Code Alternatives Cheating in the classroom has become a common resort to many students who struggle academically. Several schools have tried preventing this immoral act with a student honor code. The honor code is intended to unveil any students who cheat on tests or quizzes by having them pledge, before the test, to refrain from any wrongdoings and to sell out anyone they find cheating. While this policy may sound flawless, the majority of honor codes fail to banish cheating. Many…

everyone immensely valued loyalty and codes of honor. Oral poets, also known as scops, were an imperative part of loyalty, codes of honor, and revenge. Most people could not read or write, so the reciting of poetry was the only way they had of retelling stories from the past. Through the repeating of these stories and poems, adolescents and future generations could discover great heroes such as Beowulf, all while the beliefs of loyalty, revenge, and codes of honor were instilled upon them.…

We all know someone that cheats or has cheated before. That’s why I think Hotchkiss High School needs an Honor Code. when someone cheats or plagiarizing, they aren’t learning anything. And the people who do the work, are not getting any credit for what is originally their work. They are pretty much getting robbed. And that is illegal, which is why it needs to stop. We need to teach kids that it’s not okay to cheat, to plagiarize. You can’t go through life cheating. At one point in life, it will…

A&M, undergraduates and graduates wanting to get a higher education go by the Aggie Code of Honor, “An Aggie does not lie, cheat or steel or tolerate those who do.” (Texas A&M). This quote is one thing Aggies follow and hold very dearly and close them. As I almost complete my undergraduate degree at Texas A&M I understand the Aggie honor code more and more each day as to what it means to me. To me the Aggie honor code is important because it allows me to be proud of a college campus that not…

role that humanity plays in the creation of, and assignment of, virtue. Within Julius Caesar especially, the virtue of honor and allegiance to virtue is called into question. Had Brutus adapted his idea of honor, he would not have lost so much at the end of the play, but because he clung to his ideals, like Caesar, he too fell. To better understand the faults of Brutus’ honor code, one must understand the fall of Caesar. When Caesar looks about Rome as he returns from defeating Pompey, he sees…

I am appealing this honor code violation because I used a tutor to get help for Financial Accounting and I did not violate any of the honor code or rules in the syllabus. I am offered help labs to have any of my questions about the class and the material answered. Unfortunately, I can’t make it to the help labs because I am a student athlete and it conflicts with my practice time. So, for an alternative I asked student athlete services to provide me with a tutor so I can get my questions…

shows strength, courage, and leadership. Throughout the poem, Beowulf personifies Anglo-Saxon honor and acts accordingly in all of his interactions with others. Beowulf is heroic in his deeds, wise in his leadership, and always follows the honor code. This honor code was extremely important in Anglo-Saxon society and one of the main themes of the poem explores the negative consequences of not following the code. The monster Grendel exemplifies everything considered dishonorable in Anglo-Saxon…

and their families. Another aspect of the western is the codes of honour. The men/cowboys are supposed to live their lives in a way that they follow all of the rules that society expects of them. The men are meant to follow all of the social norms, they are the providers and they take care of the women in their wives. A lot of the time this means that they are fighting the other men because it makes them more masculine. The codes of honor also seem to mean that when they are going to fight they…

Cowboys have a code of honour they must respect, this involves “never taking unfair advantage, never betraying trust, and always telling the truth” (Dick Oakes). Throughout the film Ennis who refers to himself as a cowboy during the film breaks all of these rules. In a true western film the cowboy would not consider going back on the oath he has taken, but since the melodrama in this film seems to overpower the western aspects it happens much more than expected. The code of honor seems to…
