Academic Honesty

When I hear the words academic honesty, it brings to mind being a person of integrity when it comes to our school and studies in school. Having integrity involves being honest and doing your best work all the time. Being honest involves always making sure to do your own work as a student. Our work must be our own; if we use something from another person then we must give credit where credit is due. As a future educator I will have the responsibility to not only be an example of academic honesty, but I will also need to teach my students how to be academically honest. How can I expect my students to be honest in their work if I do not let them know my expectations for them, with respect to academic honesty. It is very important for students to be academically honest; if o one teaches them, then they may try to cheat their whole way through life. I to be an educator who holds my students to a standard of integrity and honesty in all they do.
