...Instructor: Phuc Vu Project 3: Annotated bibliography Academic Actions, Academic Integrity Chace, William M. “A Question of Honor.” The American Scholar 81.2 (2012): 20-32. Academic Search Premier. Web. 22 Mar. 2013. Chace raises our awareness about many problems that American higher education is confronting such as the decreasing of quality and student integrity. At first, he pointed out the declining of academic quality. The tuition fee is raising, but the outcome is not. Then he tells us the biggest reason that causes the problem – it is academic dishonesty. Later, Chace highlights why students cheat and how college cheating damages academic integrity and harms collegiate institutions’ reputations. Finally, he strongly states “To do nothing is not an answer”; therefore, we must find some solutions. William Chase is both President and Professor of English Emeritus at Emory University as well as Honorary Professor of English Emeritus at Stanford University.

...Fading Honor Code Many colleges and universities across the United States have some variation of an honor code implemented within their rules and regulations or the student handbook. An honor code is a statement that addresses the offenses of cheating, plagiarism, and misrepresentation of the work of both peers and official authors. These honor codes are commonly self-regulated which indicates that students must essentially turn in anyone violating the honor code so that they can receive proper repercussions (Standford). Consequences presented as a result of violating the honor code include suspension, community service, and in some cases an undefined grade in the class that the code was violated in (Greenberg). Many scholars and college...

...Collin College “Academic Dishonesty Statement,” is similar to Notre Dames “Honor Code” in that they give helpful examples of what is considered plagiarism. In the Academic Dishonesty Statement, the acts of plagiarism, cheating and collusion are the schools main focus and examples. The school does mention some penalties, but their main focus is on the examples of plagiarism then the act itself. The phrase,“Collin College community is expected to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity,” gives a vague explanation of what the college expects from the faculty and students who are at Collin, but nothing else.The tone of Collin’s statement may be lukewarm and pluck at the morality strings of the student, but it still doesn’t make a student or faculty member contemplate plagiarizing or fear Collin College’s “disciplinary penalties”(Collin College Academic Dishonesty Statement)....

...Running Head: ETHICS IN AN ACADEMIC ENVIRONMENT Ethics in an Academic Environment Americans want to be more, have more, do more, and know more. America is a choleric, driven culture and that is one of the very reasons that make it such a distinguished nation. Americans in their desire for more may have compromise their ethics. Are people willing to get ahead at any cost? Most people in American society live busy, hectic lives and this affects all facets of life. In the academic environment, students face grave pressure from others as well as internally to perform well (McCabe 2001). Plagiarism is one aspect of ethics in academia where students 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...

...Evaluation in Higher Education, Vol. 28, No. 5, October 2003 In Other (People’s) Words: plagiarism by university 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...

...Plagiarism Tamara Alston Liberty University Abstract This work will address the subject of plagiarism in writing. It describes the steps to writing an essay in APA style while suggesting to the student some ways avoiding the pitfalls of plagiarism. The topics covered are APA formatting, quotations, paraphrasing, summarizing, citations, 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.
