1. What are at least 2 examples of violations of the Student Code of Academic Integrity?

Solution: Plagiarism, cheating and fabrication are considered as major violations in the student code of academic integrity.

2. Why is integrity important in both academic and professional life? How do you put integrity into practice in both your academic and professional life?

Solution: Integrity is very important in my academic life because it will allow my peer and teachers to trust me as a person. An individual should be honest to himself in order to succeed academically. He/she should be aware of his weaknesses and should be honest in dealing with his mistakes for a better future. A strong moral principle in the academic life also helps in the future business career. An individual should maintain principles and should honestly follow them so as to succeed in his/her academic career. Only those who are honest to themselves are able to succeed both for them as well as for the society.

It is very important to have integrity because it will help us in our professional standards and help us to have a stronger moral principle on how to appreciate things in life. Integrity is supposed to be one of the most essential characteristics that should be present in an individual throughout his life be it in his academic carrier or his professional career. In the professional career an individual should always set moral principles for himself and he/she should always be honest to the society by maintaining integrity as it is the individual who has to give back to the society what he/she has received from the society.

The resources we have available as a student is the Plagiarism Checker and Manuel. Also, have the English tutoors available on the website to help us see if we have plagiarism a paper. The website on the Plagiarism Checker and Manuel is very helpful to me because I can just upload my paper and it checks it for me and it tells me which words I need to fix. It is extremely important to use these tools because we do not want to get ourselves in trouble because we want to be success students.
