...You’re in class getting ready for a test you studied for so long, but you realize you study The wrong thing, you see a glance of your peer's paper is It worth it to copy and get in more trouble than just failing? academic dishonesty happens everywhere, even in your class, maybe you’ve done it. The academic honor code is a rule to be truthful basically when plagiarising or seeing it. many people are very half and half about this situation. We should apply the honor code because it helps students adjust to new response abilities in school, also it would help to eliminate plagiarism, and learning a fair environment.

...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...
