Academic Integrity

Academic integrity is very important at Arizona State University, not only here but everywhere. Us college students should be more responsible and should know that cheating is a huge mistake you can ever do. Cheating can cause very serious problems, not only to you but to the people who are around you. Always think twice before committing this kind of mistake.

As Joe Bunker stated on the presentation “integrity is what we do, what we say and what we say we do.” It is basically telling us that academic integrity “matters”. Also always keep in mind the consequences cheating can lead to. For example if you ever get caught cheating, which in ASU you always will; you will automatically get an XE on you transcripts and the professors and your college will give you another penalty. Remember that you also may be expelled.

As you can see being honest is very important. It can lead you to better things in life and even help you on your future. Keep in mind how hard you worked to get here; do not lie to yourselves by cheating.

I never thought of cheating as lying too myself but now that I think about it I can see it that way. I think it is also taking away from what you’re learning. And if you do get caught then it’s also a waste of your money and time. When something huts us hard like money that is when we will realize what we did was wrong.

I think it is sad when people cheat out of desperation because they see no other alternative. Honesty is always the best policy. A person should never consider cheating an honest way to complete an assignment.
