My English Teacher During My Junior Year

. I use my office for checking my email, eating the gourmet lunches, which I cook for myself before hand, and to grade papers with my favorite, red sharpie.

In some of my courses, the professors made previous examinations available to us, and of those professors, a few asked questions from those past exams verbatim on our exams, a fact I checked after colleagues indicated such. Although this information was available and would have likely improved my grades in those courses, I chose to study the material instead of studying the exams because I believe that upholding integrity (e.g., studying the material) tends to be more beneficial to the upholder than failing to do so (e.g., studying the exams). As such, I seek to uphold integrity in every situation. In terms of compassion, I have expressed my commitment to this value through community service activities, such as helping cut firewood for families needing fuel to stay warm through the winter. During this event, I was able to exhibit my compassion for strangers by happily cutting firewood-sized logs from felled trees, the logs from which kept ten families warm throughout the winter in Arkansas. My compassion gave me the drive to sacrifice the time and energy required to cut the logs, compassion that continues to give me the willingness to offer my time and

Anyone not registered in an Advanced Placement Course was seen as having a lack of intelligence and anyone not a part of the Math and Science Academy was seen as even less than that. Every semester, my friends and peers constantly tried to get me to engage in the cheating norm. To them, grades were the most important thing in the world and they did not want me to be left behind on the spectrum. They would try and convince me with excuses such as how cheating would bring up my GPA, raise my class rank, and most importantly how it “wouldn’t be hurting anyone.” However, the truth is that it did hurt others. I never allowed myself to cheat, because I could never take that opportunity of a brighter future away from someone else who deserved it. There were so many students who put in countless hours of studying to receive the grades they wanted, and for me to use dishonestly to take that away from them wouldn’t feel right. I believe that success should be based on our own hard work, not carried on the back of someone

Learning can be difficult, especially in a class like history, but lucky for me my 7th , 10th , and 12th grade teacher made history one of my favorite classes. Coach Fowler is the best teacher and coach that I have ever had. He really knew how to make class fun and keep me focused. He was also my football Coach, which also resulted in me wanting to do good and act right in his classroom. He knew when to joke, and he also knew when to take things serious. Having a teacher and also a football coach that you look up to and respect really encourages you to do good and not let him down.

For many students, failure is not an option. Their need to succeed outweighs the risk of getting caught while cheating. In her article, “College Cheating: Success Above Honor”, Carla Rivera writes, “Studies find that students feel under more pressure than ever to succeed and increasingly see cutting corners

My government professor at South Texas College gave the class a very rigorous assignment that required a more participation than usual. We were told to go to a regular government meeting, for instance, a city council meeting or a school board meeting, and observe the proceedings and then write about what took place at the meeting.

What happens when a person is faced with the conflict of studying for versus cheating on a college exam when eighty-percent of their grade is dependent upon the outcome of said exam? For the college student there may be a number of self-justifiable factors. The conflicted student may find themselves in a position of emotional and moralistic conflict over choice; situation, morality, personality trait, personal beliefs, and attitude are a fraction of the elements in a slew of factors that potentially play a role in the final outcome. When preparing for or taking a college exam, ethics, behavior and attitude may very well change dependent upon the level of importance of the college exam, overall grade,

C.S. Lewis, a famous author, writes that,“integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching”. Whether one is at home, or at a public place, honesty and integrity play crucial roles that can help define one’s character. The classroom is another place where honesty is significant and allows students to only earn what they truly deserve. Academic honesty is important, because it helps build good character, and students can avoid the various consequences of being dishonest. First and foremost, what exactly is academic honesty?

Perhaps a student’s first experience with Academic Integrity is early in elementary school when the teacher says, “Keep your eyes to yourself and cover your work.” Here at Appalachian State University (ASU), upon admission, students take a pledge on their honor. Students pledge against lying in any manner. Additionally, cheating and stealing are unacceptable. Lying, cheating, or stealing cannot be the vehicle for gaining an academic advantage. Also, students pledge to oppose every instance of academic dishonesty. Therefore, the University provides a “user-friendly” ten-part outline explaining definitions, administration, violations, sanctions, appeals and goals of the Academic Integrity Code (AIC). The Academic Integrity Code at ASU will

AP classes are not designed to be easy, but the enormity of the US History course make learning, remembering, especially difficult. Terms, dates, names and places are hard enough to remember for quizzes, but after nine months of instruction so many are forgotten or get confused with another. In under three hours, I had to prove not only that I remembered it all but that I was a master of it in order to be awarded any of college credit. A three is considered to be “qualified” but after months of quizzes, tests, projects and term papers I wasn’t qualified; I was, as a five suggests, “extremely qualified.” Earning a five, on an AP test, along

In my sixth grade year I had a teacher named Mrs. Lambert. She was a great teacher and friend. Close to the end of the year we took an advanced math test to see how much we’ve learned. Unfortunately I wasn’t present the day the rest of my classmates took the test. The next day, my teacher was explaining to me that I had to take the test and so I did. When I received the test I quickly rushed through it. It wasn’t that I was being lazy. It was more that I already knew the material. When I was finished I was sure that I had done a great job. My teacher had told me that if the whole class got a good great then we were eligible for a prize. Then, my testing teacher told her that I didn’t use the rubric or the formula sheet. My home class teacher

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.

I choose to be honorable because I know that if I ever accomplish something great in academics, I want to know it was because of the hard work I put into it, rather than because of the help I received. At some point in their lives, many people make the choice to cheat because they don’t trust themselves to get the correct answers and they fear failure. I believe, however, that cheating as to avoid an F, is a failure worse than any grade could ever be. Cheating is a personal failure that fails your morals, your reputation, and your integrity. It is much better to fail even though you tried your best, instead of to pass knowing that you failed my morals in the process. I want to succeed knowing that my success is a product of my work, instead

The principle of academic integrity stretches beyond the limits of a classroom. Good students are honest with themselves, their professors, their roommates, and their community.

Choosing a favorite teacher is fairly difficult when one puts into account all the types of teachers they have known, all of them are important. Teachers are the second most important people in our lives, right after our parents. Teachers are persuasive and have the power to build a child up from an immature student to become a responsible adult; or they can completely and utterly crush a students hopes and dreams.
