Academic honesty means that one’s own work is authentic and not a reproduction of other person’s work or ideas. When another person’s ideas are used, they are given credit with a citation.
Terms to understand:
- Plagiarism - the representation of the ideas or work of another person as your own.
- Duplication of work - copying another student’s work and presenting it as your own.
- Giving your work to others - allowing your work to be copied and/or submitted for assessment by another student.
- Misconduct during an examination, including the possession of unauthorized material.
- Disclosing information to another student, or receiving information from another student, about the content of an examination or test.
How to maintain academic honesty:
- Credit all the sources I use, even if I have paraphrased or summarized.
- Clearly distinguish between my work and the source being used (using quotation marks, indentation or a similar method).
- Use the appropriate citation style (MLA, APA).
- Ask for Advice
- If student is being graded individually, a student submits his/her own work.
Things to Remember
- JLHS students are principled and act with integrity and honesty.
- JLHS students should be content creators not content imitators.
- If you engage in any form of academic dishonesty your administrator with input from your teacher or staff member has the right to impose consequences.
- Do it right, remember to cite! Credit where credit is due!
