Student Integrity

One trait I would consider absolutely important as an osteopathic physician and a medical student would be integrity. During my high school experience, one of my FFA advisors would announce to the chapter as we stepped off the bus for a trip, “Act like you know something.” In high school, this meant I was representing my school was on the back of my jacket and to set an example, but this quote has more meaning. Not only do I represent my university and family, but I also each of my professors and their education; I represent my fellow students when a prospective student tour passes by, observing my behavior and stature. Most importantly, I represent myself my achievements, as well as my failures.

I am Rohit Attada, bearing a WIN 714332532 pursuing my masters in Industrial Engineering at Western Michigan University. I have been registered to EM 5120 service operation management subject for this spring 2016. I submitted the first assignment given in the class, in which professor found the traces of plagiarism and he forwarded it to the student conduct office.

During my second semester of Sophomore year, I cheated on my “Gender, Race, and Class in a Global Context” final exam. I brought in unauthorized notes and used them on parts of the exam. In return, I received a failing grade in the class. On my own time, I wrote a formal apology letter to my teacher because I felt that it was necessary in order to forgive myself for my actions. The school required that I write a letter regarding my poor decision making to the code of conduct office. I also enrolled in an Honor Code class. During this time, I was particularly overwhelmed with the material in my Gender class. I spent a majority of my time studying for my math and science finals since they both have always been my most challenging. I let my stress level get the best of me. Soon after, I began to understand how serious of a mistake I

“Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.” C.S. Lewis. The notion of honesty and integrity is also depicted in the debate of the honor code in schools all around the country. In the article the author illustrates the pros and cons of the honor code and the importance of it. The ability to be content while taking a test, us having all knowledge in our pockets and students violating honor code and not getting caught are reasons why we should maintain our honor code. Therefore, the honor code should be maintained because there are many students violating the honor code and getting away with it and this is detrimental to society because students are cheating their way through elementary, middle, high school and maybe even college and not really learning anything that’ll actually take them to the next level.

Academic Integrity is the moral code or ethical policy of academia. Academic integrity describes the violation of plagiarism and the maintenance of academic standards which means they want to make sure you are completely honest. Academic Integrity is important because it helps each student to be honest with their work not taking another student idea. It is a skill we developed to make sure we don’t accidently plagiarize when taking quotes from another website without properly citing. The Student Code of Academic Integrity provides us with a lot of information on this topic three examples of infractions that violate the Student Code of Academic integrity are plagiarism, collusion, unauthorized assistance. Plagiarism is taking quotes or ideas

Deciding which college to attend and how one is supposed to accomplish that goal is a roller coaster of emotions and extremely tough decisions. The story behind how I got to APU is on the more confusing side and how I still am attending this amazing school is a whole other story. We all go through obstacles that hopefully make us stronger when we eventually pull through on the other side. Now that I am fully cemented here at Azusa Pacific, I want to make the most out of it and take my influence to places I did not think were achievable, even after college. If anyone takes one stroll down cougar walk, they would be able to tell that this place is filled with amazing people who care about others.

The quality of students’ homework is much more important than the quantity of students homework and data collected during recent studies has proven that homework is not making the grade. “. . . American students are entangled in the middle of international academic rankings: 17th in reading, 23rd in science, and 31st in math according to the most recent results from the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA)” (Murphy-Paul). Students should not be given an excessive amount of homework because the pressure of having to complete excessive amounts of homework every night is quite daunting for most students. Knowing how much homework is the right amount correlates with age and grade. An 8th grade student should not be given a myriad of homework that would keep her awake past midnight completing assignments. In any case, there should be a limit on the amount of homework all teachers give to students because an excessive amount of homework would eventually cause students to become uninterested in school and learning, which could result in poor test scores and low ranks in international academic rankings. In order for students to carry out daily activities throughout the day restfully, teachers must be able to provide homework that does not exceed the appropriate amount of time needed to complete it, which is based on grade level. If teachers are too clueless of a students health due to excessive amounts of homework, many students will develop cases of sleep

“According to the Center for Academic Integrity, there are five fundamental values that are center to academic integrity: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility (Grand Canyon Univiersity,2015).” In the first scenario I think it is important to remember to note that cheating is not all about plagiarism but, that unauthorized permission from an instructor to work collectively on an assignment. I know that material in our graduate studies might be more difficult than undergraduate studies and the support from other students is important. Collaborating with others on individual students might hinder and undermine the purpose of graduate school because cheating does not allow us to evaluate what we as students really know and need

Academic cheating has always been frowned upon by society and reasoned as the easy way out. From a teacher's point of view, cheating may be unethical. On the other hand, from a student’s viewpoint, cheating may be the necessary survival skill in school. Society has always been solely focused on how terrible cheating is but it has never considered the pressures that essentially cause students to cheat. Many pressures contribute to academic dishonesty such as the pressure to succeed, pressure for positive recognition, and the pressure to complete the task even with the teacher's inadequacy to explain the material.

As a senior in high school, I am challenged with keeping my integrity everyday. I have the advantage of knowing who has integrity and who doesn't because I can overhear other students conversations during passing period. I am surrounded by peers who cheat and peers who are academically honest. Many teachers know that students get by in school by copying homework and cheating on tests. However, they fail to detect it and assign the appropriate punishment. It's disappointing to know that students who cheat and do the bare minimum are going to college along with those who have been working hard and playing by the rules.

Unfortunately, as the academic bar has been raised in schools across the nation, expectations at home rise as a result. School is getting harder, college tuition is rising, scholarships are being expected. This places the weight of the world on students’ shoulders, with cheating their perceived only option to make it to the top. In her research journal entry “Academic Cheating Among Students: Pressure of Parents and Teachers” (2015), Rajni

Academic integrity is the code of academic conduct that is set forth by educational institutions. It is the catalyst for the mission of most institutions. The expectation is that students will be honest and responsible as it pertains to academia. It defines the academic rigor in research and academic publishing and gives value to the institution (Spain & Robes, 2011). Academic integrity also applies to the way that an individual behaves both personally and professionally, and is a true measure to the worth of the degree that is earned. This standard of behavior applies to both students and faculty. In short this is just thief of

Academic integrity is violated by any dishonest act which is committed in an academic context including, but not restricted to the following:

The struggle students, parents, and teachers face with homework has remained problematic for many generations. Some educators and parents will argue that it is necessary and helpful to the students when it comes to their academic achievement, but most students will argue that it is not as effective as it seems. In fact, homework has been a key element in the education of students since their first year of school. As students get into higher grades the amount of work they are assigned becomes increasingly difficult and can become too much for them to handle, which is the case for many high school students. The excessive amount of homework high school students receive has led many of them to have stress, thus resulting in the development of multiple health issues. Is the stress of homework really worth putting the health of high school students at risk?
