A kid in college was the top kid in the class and people had always cheated on him during his academic career. He was too afraid to tell any teachers about the kids cheating and making him do the assignments. Until the honor code was established in their university and a peer noticed the kids cheating and talked to him about turning them in. The net day he told the professor and the kids who were cheating were caught and expelled. This is why Broken Arrow and other schools should establish a honor code.

  • Academic Integrity Policy: Sources Of Cheating

    341 Words  | 1 Pages

    Plagiarism is the process in which students improperly gather information such as ideas or personal opinions to complete an assignment. As a student, it is not morally right for me to purposely steal content from another user in order to sustain an excellent grade in the class. That being said, I do conduct research and find sources that may be relevant and useful to my assignments. The difference is that I cite all of my sources and I give credit to all creators because it is the proper way to finish an assignment. Unfortunately, the educational system in college is on a wide scale as students can use many sources of cheating without being caught. Thus, teachers and professors decided to create an "Academic Integrity Policy" in order to establish

  • Cheating Definition Essay

    516 Words  | 2 Pages

    Cheating in every situation is wrong due to the fact that if we get caught we get in trouble. It isn’t exactly the moral or ethical fact to me personally, it’s more of the issue that if I get caught I get in trouble and end up feeling degraded, although I should have felt that from the start. For some students it doesn’t even faze them. I’m not saying that everyone one who cheats are an awful person, because that would mean just about every student at your average school would be, including me.

  • Cheating in Sports

    1409 Words  | 3 Pages

    Sports are governed by sets of rules or customs and often, competition. Sports have always been a way to connect us to our past and to build optimism about the future. Sport’s a way to bond the people despite differences in race, age and gender. However, today the game that is supposed to teach character, discipline and team work is teaching cheating. And in today’s world, with fame, endorsement, drugs and so much to gain, it is not surprising that athletes are cheating in sports. Cheating in sports is not new thing; it started the day when humans first discovered athletic competitions. According to the Los Angeles Times (August 20, 2006) “More than 2,000 years before Mike Tyson bit off a piece of Evander Holyfield's ear and was disqualified in the boxing ring, Eupolus of Thessaly, a boxer in the Olympics of 388 BC, bribed three of his opponents to take dives. Historians consider Eupolus' crime the first recorded act of cheating in sports” (Pugmire 7). We have been seeking an easier way to win. Cheating in sports, which recently has manifested in diverse forms, is more a result of increasing pressure to win from the sponsors and team management, especially in the context of sport becoming a career rather than an act of recreation. What actually constitutes cheating? When does gamesmanship stop and cheating start? And should we try to stop cheating in sports? The use of illegal drugs, huge amount of money and betting is ruining the fame of sports. Hence, cheating in sports is caused by drugs and the desire for endorsement and fame which are getting more effective in recent.
