The Big 3 Academic Integrity Violations

▧ Cheating

▧ Plagiarism

▧ Falsification

Cheating

It can take MANY, MANY, MANY forms.
Here are a few common examples:

Using a calculator when you’re not suppose

to.

Copying work from another scholar,
Receiving or giving an unfair advantage.

How can I avoid cheating?

Complete your work as your teacher assigned

it.

Get to know what your teacher expects.
Ask your teacher when you are not sure.

6

Plagiarism

Simply put, it is using others’ ideas and/or
words without giving credit for using their work.

How can I avoid plagiarism?

If it is not in your own words, use quotation marks and

cite the source.

If the ideas came from someone other than you, you can

paraphrase (put in your own words) and cite the source.

THE BOTTOM LINE: If it is not common knowledge

AND/OR your original idea, it needs to be cited!

Falsification

This is spoken and written misrepresentations. Examples include: signing
school forms with your parent’s name, making up information (such as
science data for a project), and trying to take credit for work you did not
complete.

How can I avoid falsification?

Only sign forms that are addressed

to you.

Do your own work.
