Academic Integrity: Avoiding Plagiarism

What is Academic Integrity?

The Center for Academic Integrity http://www.academicintegrity.org defines academic integrity as:

A commitment, even in the face of adversity, to five fundamental values. From these values flow principles of behavior that enable academic communities to translate ideals into action. These fundamental values are:

  • Honesty
  • Trust
  • Fairness
  • Respect
  • Responsibility
