  2. Arizona State University’sStudent Academic Integrity Policy – Get to Know It “Each student must act with honesty and integrity, and must respect the rights of others in carrying out all academic assignments…” ASU Student Academic Integrity Policy: http://www.asu.edu/studentaffairs/studentlife/judicial/academic_integrity.htm

  3. Types of Academic Dishonesty A student may be found to have engaged in academic dishonesty if he or she: • Acts as… or uses… a substitute for another person in any academic evaluation or assignment • Depends on the aid of others…to the extent that the work is not representative of the student's abilities • Refers to materials or sources or uses devices…not authorized by the instructor for use during the Academic Evaluation or assignment • Uses materials from the Internet or any other source without full and appropriate attribution • Claims credit for or submits work done by another Additional types of dishonest behavior are included in the ASU Student Academic Integrity Policy.

  4. Why should I act with academic integrity? • I will learn what I am supposed to learn to be successful in my chosen field of study. • I will become stronger mentally, emotionally, and ethically. • I will value my degree and will know that I earned it. • I will gain the respect of my instructors, and may even be respected by fellow students. Anderman, E.M. & Murdock, T.B., eds. (2007). Psychology of Academic Cheating. Amsterdam; Boston: Elsevier Academic Press.

  5. Everyone else is cheating! Why shouldn’t I? • Your mind will get stronger through exercise, just as your body gets stronger through exercise. • You will gain important skills needed to excel, not only in school, but in your future career. • You will establish a pattern of ethical behavior that will guide you throughout your academic, professional and personal life. Is it really a disadvantage to read, learn, and think in order to do well on papers and exams?

  6. Cheating at ASU is not wise. If you are caught cheating, you may face severe short-and-long term consequences. Hoenemeyer, L. R-generation: academic pressures: struggle to succeed spurs on cheating. (2005) reviewjournal.com, retrieved from http://www.reviewjournal.com on April 11, 2007.

  7. Know ALL the Policies When you take a class it is important to understand the academic integrity policies set by: • The instructor teaching the class • The program or department offering the course • The college offering the course • Arizona State University

  8. Instructor Policies If a student behaves dishonestly, an instructor may: • Allow the student to redo the test or the assignment for a lower grade • Assign a failing grade for the test or assignment • Assign a failing grade for the course • Assign a grade of “XE” for the course

  9. What is an “XE” grade? • “XE” appears on your official transcript with the notation “failure due to academic dishonesty.” • “XE” will keep you from participating in extracurricular activities such as student government or student organizations. • If you receive an “XE” you can be expelled from ASU.

  10. Instructor Policies May DifferCheck your course syllabus For Instance: • All writing for this class must be written for this class Topass this class all major writing assignments must be completed. Note that all writing for this class must be written for this class. Reusing a paper you wrote for another class, or back in high school, constitutes academic dishonesty. – ENG 102 course syllabus, Spring 2007 • Tests are not to be taken as a group effort If such activity is observed either physically or through computer records, all students involved will be called to account for their actions. – MUS 354 course syllabus, Spring 2007

  11. Program, Department or College Academic Integrity Policies A program or department may have its own policies and consequences regarding academic integrity. Consequences may be more severe if a student behaves dishonestly more than once.

  12. Sample College Policy “Academic honesty is expected of all students in courses offered by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) and all transactions with the College. Academic dishonesty has serious consequences and can lead to course failure, denial of registration in courses in the College, probation, disqualification (by the student’s college), or dismissal.” College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, School of Family and Social Dynamics. (2007). Academic programs: Undergraduate. Retrieved 5/22 from http://www.asu.edu.ezproxy1.lib.asu.edu/clas/ssfd/undergrad/honesty.html
