Case Study 1 - Too Much Information Saksham Garg 100270927 October 25, 2016 Gayle Hayashi Professional Business Practices BUSM 4805-004 Introduction Under the supervision of John Melnyk, Anna Hawkins writes Too Much Information. A case where a group of four students in a third-year business ethics course at a university gets a long and challenging assignment which was worth a substantial portion of the final grade. This assignment put the students in the role of ethical consultants to a group purchasing organization in the healthcare industry that had just come under public scrutiny. Here they need to draft a letter and present it to a board of directors on a later date. Board of directors would be represented by Professor Nash (their instructor) and one or two of his university colleagues or contacts from the business world. Along with this information this case also suggests that one of the group members ‘Jeff’ finds his part of the assignment on the internet. It was clear to other group members that he cannot use this information, as the assignment specified that this was off limits. Erica (one of the group members) is confused how to handle the situation. She comes with her own perspective, objectives and action plan. Fundamental Values According to The International Centre for Academic Integrity honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility, and courage are the six fundamental values of academic integrity. From Erica’s viewpoint of the situation highlighted

Academic Integrity Statement: I have read and understood the Academic Integrity guidelines for Kaplan Open Learning and the University Of Essex, and declare that this assignment conforms to all of the rules and regulations contained therein.
I undertook an online course on academic integrity which refined my awareness of the moral code of academia and instilled the vital values required to maximise success in my work.
Academic integrity can be summarized as the pursuance of higher education in a scholarly fashion and the value of learning without
Academic Honesty Policy: Students are expected to maintain complete honesty and integrity in the academic experiences both in and out of the classroom. Any students found guilty of dishonesty in any phase of academic work will be subject to disciplinary action.
On October 17th, 2015, during my regular chemistry lecture I made a mistake of violating the University of Texas at Arlington’s Integrity Code of Honor through taking an impulsive step of submitting another student quiz during his absence in the class. In this reflective essay I will answer all the question asked by the Office of Student conduct in each paragraphs respectively. This includes: the factors and the consequences of my inappropriate behavior, self-realization during the student conduct process, and providing assurance for rebuilding the integrity expected out of every student.
As a student at American InterContinental University we all have a certain code we must follow. Being a professional student, my duty is to abide by the rules of honesty set by the college to be professional at all I do. The code of honesty set by the college states, “that I pledge that all test taken and work submitted by me will be my original own ideas and of my own efforts.” (Student Handbook, 2011) Showing honesty in any professional environment will bring great rewards for all who abide by the rules. Professional and academic integrity involves everyone taking responsibility for their conduct and competence.
Unfortunately, over the last few years, I have occasionally discovered incidents where students violated standards of academic integrity – my standards, the College’s standards, and those of Colorado State University. When we engage in or accept such behavior, it demeans all of us and calls into question the integrity of your education. Therefore, all students in this class are being advised of precise standards as they relate to this class – and everyone is asked to verify their understanding of these standards.
She counts on the inability of the University’s capacities to identify someone else’s work. The university has their Code of Conduct and Academic Integrity which obliges every student to abide by them. By not complying with these Codes, students expose themselves to not only poor grades, but even expulsion from the University for using someone else’s ideas without giving them credit. The University’s Codes promote a healthy learning atmosphere for all students providing equal working conditions and respecting everyone’s rights. Every violation of these rights simultaneously entails breaching the Code of Conduct.
The policy states: “Academic honesty is the cornerstone of the academic integrity of the university. It is the foundation upon which the student builds personal integrity and establishes a standard of personal behavior.”
Throughout our lives, we accumulate a plethora of experiences that ultimately cultivate the unique human-beings that we are in present terms. Whether if the situation pertains to education or not, individuals are molded through the actions they perform. Furthermore, every decision that is made has a consequential reflect upon an individual’s level of integrity and honor towards themselves and the community that surrounds and supports them. I wholeheartedly believe that integrity and honor encompasses an individual’s array of natural ethical responses to situations. Natural ethical responses that include pride, poise and professionalism in every matter of life, despite the opposition at hand.
Academic Integrity: All work submitted in each course must be the Learner’s own. This includes all assignments, exams, term papers,
In reading and researching the topic of academic honesty and integrity I have found that there are varying views on what is considered cheating, and that cheating occurs in all academic levels and fields of study. Interestingly business students do not believe that cheating is as serious as students in other fields. I also found that there are many parties that are responsible for teaching students why academic honesty and integrity are so important. The key to teaching this important value is to start when children enter the educational system and for higher education learning institutions to continue the expectation and education of honesty and integrity.
This paper is based on the academic honesty and how it is so valuable in a student's life. Indeed, the importance of maintaining academic honesty is also discussed in a comprehensive manner as a highlighting facet. Moreover, the aspects through which academic honesty can lead them towards better human being in their lives and entire professional life has also been under discussion. Furthermore, the emphasis has also been made that students are not the only concerned people for maintaining academic honesty but the teachers and other school staff also are also responsible in resolving the key constituents that can create academic dishonesty.
