Acedimic Integrity

Academic Integrity

                Academic integrity is a very important factor for Clemson students.  It is something that is stressed in all the faculty and staff on Clemson’s campus, and is a vital part to how the students do their work.  Academic integrity is a student doing their own work.  They do not cheat on their tests, or plagiarize while writing papers.  They stay true to their own work, and don’t take away from others.  It is very important to everyone in Clemson because it makes Clemson a better campus.  It shows how intelligent and hard working our students are.  We stay true to academic integrity not only for the university’s sake, but for our sake as well.  We learn more when we stay true to the academic integrity pledge.  It prepares us for later on in the life when we are out working on our own.

                I will be working my hardest to stay true to academic integrity.  I will be doing my work on my own, I will never cheat on a test, and I will never plagiarize while writing a paper.  I know that if I do plagiarize on a paper, that I will get in serious trouble, and if I cheat on a test and get caught, I will not pass my class.  I have the risk of getting kicked out of a class or just straight failing out of a class.  I will not use my friends’ work to do my work.  It will be a huge help for me later on in life to do my own work.  Yes, it will be challenging, but it will help me learn how to do things on my own.  It will help my expand my mind and help me get smarter and wiser.  Academic integrity is a very big part in my college life.
