Reflection On My Reaction To Davidson's Honor Code
My reaction to Davidson’s honor code is simple, I like it. The honor code is taken seriously and it is a declaration for justice. I would hope more schools could follow suit about being strict with the integrity of their students work. If you build this type of environment where people can successfully research topics and report on them in their own words the possibilities are endless. In addition you will leave a lasting impression on the students and they will always keep these values with them in life. I’m sure all the Davidson alumni are grateful they had a school like that to teach them to do the right things.

I could have wrote something quickly on my paper and acted like I actually did work, but instead I accepted the consequences. I knew it was through my own personal laziness that I did not complete the assignment. When I received a zero for the assignment I knew it was time to make a change. Being honest ended up helping me in the long run as I learned from my mistake. An example of my life when I did not display integrity was when I saw people cheating on a test and I did not report it. I did not want to be labeled as a snitch so I just let the person go on, getting good scores but not actually learning anything. If you really care about someone learning than you would help them not to cheat. To this day if I witness acts of dishonesty I will let them go, and just hope the best for the person. It may only seem like one small grade, but if you develop this cheating complex now it will continually perpetuate itself in your lifetime. In conclusion I think Davidson has a wonderful honor code that will help everyone involved in it. Honesty is always the best policy, and will create a just environment. In life we need to display integrity even when we could easily turn a blind eye. To be better people we should all try our best to do things the right
