    Honor Code DBQ Essay

    In the wake of numerous cheating scandals, such as those at the University of Virginia and Harvard, many people have began to question the effectiveness of honor codes (sources C, D). Honor codes can be defined as a set of rules implemented in a school that are based around morals that define both acceptable and unacceptable behaviors. While many feel as though such guidelines are necessary in maintaining a schools’ dignity, others believe that honor codes are impossible to enforce. Honor codes should not be enforced because they are too harsh, unrealistic, and put innocent students in uncomfortable social situations.…

    Foothills Honor Code

    With the rise of the digital age cheating and plagiarism are becoming easier for students to get away with, with more access to information and higher stakes some would argue it had become a ‘necessary evil’. In turn it has also become easier to find and punish cheaters, but disputes on how to regulate these students and hopefully prevent cheating and ever waging. Honor codes have been implemented at schools and universities across the nation, that are a written agreement that require students to be honest in their work and conduct, especially promising not to cheat; however, many people (both students and administrators) are questioning if they actually provide positive results.

    Paloma Honor Code

    Taken very lightly, high school’s role as a major stepping stone into the real is subject to the abuse of falsely completed work. A revised version of Paloma's current R.O.A.R. system can “improve the academic integrity” of students on campus (source C). Student senator of Lawrence Academy, Alyssa Vangelli, puts this into perspective when explaining that a more strict code “ensures moral action and critical thinking,” (source B). This reiterates the idea that honor codes support individualistic growth and comes from a student’s mouth - one constantly in an educational environment- making it very impactful in the eyes of other students. This emphasizes the impact a new code would have on students who care about the acquisition of knowledge in an honest…

    Honor Code Dbq

    Source F explains the results of a study in which two thirds of high school students reported seeing one or more cases of cheating in the last year. Source F also reveals that “there is growing evidence many students take these habits with them to college.” So, by setting the standard that lying and cheating are wrong early on in life, you can help prepare students and prevent them from forming bad habits. Proverbs 22:6 (KJV) says, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” By giving an honor code, the school can ensure that students are being taught moral values. These values can then be used by students both in and out of the…

    Stereotypes In Today's Society

    We all have encountered some type of stereotype or prejudices. A stereotype that I had to face was age prejudice by me being so young sometimes people don't set the high expectations for you that other people would at an older age because they expect for you to make mistakes. At times my mindset isn't where most kids are at my age. I skipped pre k and I am supposed to be in the 8th grade. When I tell people my age they be like " OMG you are young to be the grade that you are in" this is a perfect example of what I am stating that people sometimes think that you have to be average and can't go over and beyond your years.…

In a study of two hundred seventy five people, Source E, it showed that only eight percent of the two hundred seventy five people, would report someone if they were cheating. Cheating is one of the worst things you can do but no one really care telling the teacher. No one will stop cheating until they have consequences for their actions.

These stories in the news are just the students that got caught; there are bound to be countless others that get away with it every day.

    Why Grade Inflation: What Is Integrity Lost?

    Critics today are worrying if students are receiving their actual earned grades in highschool and in college. Based on Stuart Rojstaczer and Christopher Healy’s research, along with many others, grade inflation is a legitimate problem occurring in the United States. According to this research, grading inflation has been on the rise since the 1960’s. In Arthur Levine and Diane Dean’s article, ‘Why Grade Inflation (even at Harvard) Is a Big Problem’, they state that, "In 1969, 7% of undergraduates had a grade of an A- or higher in contrast to 41% now. Similarly, grades of C or less have dropped from 25 percent to 5 percent." (Arthur Levine and Diane Dean, Paragraph 2) This is a major increase for A’s as well as decrease for C’s. Grade inflation hurts not only students long term but hurts future businesses as well.…
