...Is the honor code necessary if many students refuse to even recognize the legitimacy of their honor code? High schools and colleges are trying to enforce this system of set rules to prevent plagiarism among students but it does not seem to be quite effective . Therefore whether schools maintain, revise, or eliminate the honor code, I believe our school should revise the honor code because if it is not student enforced, students will choose to ignore it and will not be effective. The honor code is not effective if students see it as just another rule to obey. I noticed that many students at my school are not fully aware of the honor code or even the penalties that follow it. A student senator from Lawrence Academy says that, “ Many students thought that a pledge of honor for each piece of paper submitted was excessive, but a less frequent pledge of honor could be a helpful reminder of their responsibilities.” (Source B) This shows that the student driven revision helped to gain student approval for the honor code. Research done at Rutgers University by professor Donald L. McCabe, says that “ students at colleges with honor codes—typically student-enforced—cheat less than their counterparts elsewhere do.” Although this is a college source, the evidence still applies to all students because everyone sets the same expectations for their...

With the recent debates on whether or not Obama care is a critical component to ensure that individuals will receive health benefits, the ethical conversation must be debated throughout the United States of America amongst corporations and educational institutions which will be affected. According to Johnson, “The job of the leader, then, is to foster ethical accountability, to encourage followers to live up to their moral responsibilities to the rest of the group, (2012, p. 278. The author’s intent within is paper is to create of code of ethics that will demonstrate the significance of having an ethical and cultural competence in acceptance, understanding and sensitivity; both as an educational goal, and as a fundamental aspect of exemplifying responsibility and accountability. Rationale for the design of your code of ethics The motivation for designing a code of ethics stems from the author’s doctoral course on ethical dilemmas and stewardship. For this author, it opened the gateway to research for meaning and purpose to understand the importance on why educational, corporate and religious organizations must have a code of ethics that is grounded with integrity, authenticity and accountability. In order for a code of ethics to be in alignment personally, professionally, and organizationally, there must be a balance...

...students—literature and lessons CHRIS PARK, The Graduate School, Lancaster University, Lancaster, UK ABSTRACT This paper reviews the literature on plagiarism by students, much of it based on North American experience, to discover what lessons it holds for institutional policy and practice within institutions of higher education in the UK. It explores seven themes: the meaning and context of plagiarism, the nature of plagiarism by students, how do students perceive plagiarism, how big a problem is student plagiarism, why do students cheat, what challenges are posed by digital plagiarism and is there a need to promote academic integrity? It is concluded that plagiarism is doubtless common and getting more so (particularly with increased access to digital sources, including the Internet), that there are multiple reasons why students plagiarise and that students often rationalise their cheating behaviour and downplay the importance of plagiarism by themselves and their peers. It is also concluded that there is a growing need for UK institutions to develop cohesive frameworks for dealing with student plagiarism that are based on prevention supported by robust detection and penalty systems that are transparent and applied consistently. Introduction Much has been written on the theme of plagiarism by students, particularly in the context of North American experience. This paper reviews that literature in order to discover what lessons it holds for institutional policy and practice within...

...traditions. From time immemorial information has been passed down from generations to generations orally. Words and proverbs were actually not attributed to a singular person but to an ethnic group, for instance, the Yoruba adage, the Igbo adage, the Hausa adage, the Bini adage and so on. As we advance over the years, we started attributing word or group of words as quotes to an individual and also books were written by individuals. It was in the bid to stop mass reproduction of books that copyright came into been. During my research on this topic, I found out that most of the research works and journals on academic integrity in Nigeria only focus on cheating, malpractice and fraudulent practices and behaviours by both the student and lecturers alike and none was on plagiarism. Academic Integrity: Nigeria Factors and Solutions profiled In Nigeria, It is no longer news that academic dishonesty remains one of the major challenges of our education system (Olasehinde, 2000; Olasehinde-Williams, Abdullahi & Owolabi, 2003). I argue that the current...

...may find themselves compromising. In a study by Bill Bowers of “over 5,000 students on 99 different campuses, 75% of the respondents had engaged in one or more incidents of academic dishonesty (McCabe, 2001, pg. 220). Although this study is a frightening and awakening find, as Carter, Bishop, and Kravits (2007) stated, “Plagiarism usually starts accidentally during research” (Chap. 8, wk.2). Time restraints, improper planning or just misinformation can all lead to plagiarism. Whether intentional or unintentional, plagiarism is still unethical and illegal. In America’s demanding and competitive society, ethics may have taken a back seat all in the name of progress. Technology has allowed people to enjoy a more advanced, more efficient quality of life, though this also may contribute to the ease with which students are “dishonest.” Plagiarism will certainly affect more than just students education. With the population growing in our nation, so does the number of students attending the public and private universities that this nation has to offer. A major issue with students is their ability to adhere to the “codes of conduct” that schools and...

...references. APA formatting assures that your paper is set up correctly. Quoting, paraphrasing, and citing are ways to avoid plagiarism. Students usually commit plagiarism accidently, but it is still very serious and can be a life-changing event. A student can be suspended or dismissed for purposeful plagiarism. A student may also be charged with plagiarism is their writings are published and they were plagiarized. There is no reason to take a chance of being accused of plagiarism when there are so many ways to prevent it including programs that will check your work. Keywords: APA, formatting, quotations, paraphrasing, citations, references, plagiarism When writing a paper in APA style, formatting is very important. APA style is the style most used for work in the area of the social sciences. An APA paper should be typed and double-spaced with one-inch margins. The preferred font is 12 pt. Times New Roman. Every page should have a page header including a running head even with the left margin and a page number even with the right margin (Angeli, Wagner, Lawrick, Moore, Anderson, Soderland, & Brizee, 2010). Plagiarism, by definition, is a crime that is punishable by our legal system. A person can be accused of plagiarism if they copy or paraphrase another person’s writings, art, or music and claim it as their own without giving credit to the original author or artist. According to the APA Ethics Code Standard 8.11, “Researchers do not claim the words...
