  1. Academic Integrity…CHEATING Warrior Wednesday

  2. Is this okay? • I copied and pasted just a few sentences off the internet for my Literature paper.

  3. Your teachers say… • Sure, IF you cite it. Any thoughts that you borrow must be credited. • Copying the work of others without crediting them is illegal. It is considered cheating. • Haven’t you ever wondered why there are credits at the end of a movie?

  4. Is this okay? • To help me out with my essay, I borrowed my brother’s paper from two years ago.

  5. Your teachers say… • No, this is not okay under any circumstance. This is cheating. • Teachers are smarter than they look, especially English teachers. They can usually recognize the difference between your work and the work of someone else. • If you try this in college and get caught, you can be kicked out.

  6. Is this okay? • I missed two days of class, so I copied my friend’s homework to get caught up.

  7. Your teachers say… • There is never a good reason to copy homework; this is cheating. • What you should copy are the NOTES you missed. • It’s a good idea to discuss the material you missed with a classmate, but your work should be your own.

  8. Is this okay? • My friend and I worked on a homework assignment together.

  9. Your teachers say… • It depends on the assignment. It also depends on if you are working together or simply copying the work of someone else. • Working together is often encouraged, especially in math. • Splitting the homework in half and then combining your answers is cheating. • You can’t write an essay together if it’s supposed to be your own work.

  10. Is this okay? • I had too much to do and didn’t get a chance to read the book, so I just read the spark notes online.

  11. Your teachers say… • There’s nothing wrong with doing some additional research on a book, IF YOU ALREADY READ! • Relying only on spark notes or other online resources instead of reading is considered cheating. • Using summaries from the internet is the same as stealing someone else’s thoughts.

  12. Is this true? • Cheating is not a big deal.

  13. Your teachers say… • Cheating is a HUGE deal. • It can get you administrative discipline in high school. • It can get you kicked out of college. (real example: student kicked out of the Air Force Academy the day before graduation for cheating) • It can get you fired from a job. (real example: local firefighters cheating on their promotion exam)

  14. Is this true? • Sometimes it’s okay to cheat, especially if everyone else is doing the same thing.

  15. Your teachers say… • No, it’s not. • There is never a good reason to cheat. • It may be easy to convince yourself it’s okay, but it is not. • Adults sometimes think it’s okay to cheat, but they’re wrong too. (real examples: teachers cheating on the CRCT, Georgia Tech coach George O’Leary fired for resume fraud)
