My adviser then told me I could only take 3 of the 4 classes I wanted because I needed to take an EDUC course. In that moment I didn’t know what this class was, all I knew was I needed to take it.

Honor codes at schools- typically student- enforced- have fewer reports of plagiarism. Having an honor…
