Academic Honesty

Academic honesty is very important. Breaking the academic honesty policy can lead to being removed from the class and even the school. Today kids are being caught plagarizing thier work. Plagiarism is defined as taking ideas, writings, etc, from another and pass them off as one's own. Today, teachers have come up with new ways to catch someone who is plagarizing. It is as easy as getting on the internet and typing a couple sentences of you paper to see if you have been plagarizing. Why Plagarize? The consquences are to great. In high school you can get a detention or get in F on your paper. You could even get expelled from school for a certain amount of time. If you try and plagarize in college thats even worse, they feel that your an adult now and you should have already learned by now. You can easily get dropped from the class and in college classes aren't free anymore so you just wasted alot of money on a class because you plagarized and your not going to get it back. If your caught plagarizing it kinda makes you look like an idiot to. It always feels better when you have researched and done the paper yourself and you get a good grade on it. Academic Honesty to me means doing your own work and not plagarizing. If you do decided to use someone elses work always cite your sources.
