ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

Academic integrity is essential in maintaining an environment that fosters excellence. Students are expected to complete all academic and scholarly assignments with fairness and honesty. The following suggestions (inspired and modeled after Ohio State University's Ten Suggestions for Preserving Academic Integrity will help you preserve academic integrity at R.J. Reynolds High School.

1. Acknowlege the sources that you use when completing assignments. If you do not acknowledge the work of others, you are implying that another person's work is your own. Such actions constitute plagarism. Plagarism is the theft of another's intellectual property and is a serious form of academic misconduct. If you are ever in doubt, always err on the side of caution and acknowledge the source.

2. Avoid suspicious behavior. Check your surroundings carefully and make sure that all of your notes are put away and that your books are closed. Keep your eyes on your own work at all times.

3. Do not fabricate information. Never make up any type of data or information that is used in an academic or scholarly assignment.

4. Do not give in to peer pressure. Before lending or giving any type of information to a friend, consider carefully what you are lending, what your friend might do with it, and what the consequences might be if your friend misuses it.

5. Do not submit the same work for credit in two courses. Submitting the work from one course to satisfy the requirements of a different course is not only violating the spirit of the assignment, but it also is putting other students in the course at a disadvantage.

6. Do your own work. When you turn in an assignment with only your name on it, then the work on that assignment should be yours and yours alone.

7. Manage your time. Do not put off assignments until the last minute. Do not put yourself in a negative situation where your options are severely limited. Plan ahead!

8. Protect your work and the work of others. Never give another student access to your work unless you are certain why the student want it and what he or she will do with it.
