Freshman seem most susceptible to having their academic integrity challenged.
However, these challenges to academic integrity occur at every level of the University.
Often times students aren’t consciously looking to break rules, rather they simply aren’t
familiar with what is and isn’t acceptable.

Academic integrity can be compromised by any number of actions.
These are a few behaviors, some of which may not be as obvious as others.
Many instructors have a zero tolerance policy. If reported by an instructor, instances of
academic dishonesty can remain on a student’s transcript forever.

behaviors while at Penn State.

Some are less obvious.
Q: Why is “Submitting the same paper for more than one class without permission”
cheating?
A: It boils down to what the credits your earning are worth. Earning credits assumes that
you have put a certain level of intellectual effort into assignments. Shirking the
requirements by reusing work is a violation of personal integrity and respect other
students.

If you find yourself tackling any of these problems it’s important to talk to your instructor or
others within he College to resolve the issue. Cheating will only exacerbate the problems.

Plagiarism has dire consequences, including flunking the paper in question, flunking the
course, and university disciplinary action, depending on the circumstances of the office.
The simplest way to avoid plagiarism is to document the sources of your information
carefully.

2. Break the students into groups of two.
3. Ask students to create a visualization of what academic dishonesty is. (Venn diagram,
hierarchy, etc.) How the terms are interrelated.
4. Have students e‐mail their finished work to speaker (or instructor).
5. If there is time ask for volunteers to explain why they organized theirs in a certain way /

It’s important that you define academic integrity not as what you shouldn’t do, but as what
you should. You should cite resources properly, you should hold yourself to a high standard,
etc.
As we saw with the U of Indiana quiz, sometimes it’s hard to articulate why an action is
wrong. It’s important to communicate with your instructor FIRST when you have questions
related to academic integrity.
