Student Honor System Analysis

My school has a somewhat kind of developed honor system. It can be a little stricter. The overall idea of an honor system is a great concept. Kids that work hard get cheated on by other students. Kids can report cheaters without having their name be brought up. Some ways that my school can become stricter in the honors system are, possibly using cameras to watch kids from above as stated in Source A. The school staffs could become better at detecting cheaters. One way that this could happen is getting a computer program that detects plagiarism. What students need to know is that their name will not be brought. That is why these programs are being held up in success. Students are afraid of, “What if I get I reported on?” Cheating in schools is pretty much on-going. As Source D says, “The Internet provides a lot sources of information, and it’s tempting to simply insert phrases directly into reports.”
Source C states that a professor at Rutgers University named Donald McCabe, stated that student enforced honor systems work well because it causes students to cheat less because they are afraid that some student will “rat them out”.
Source C backs this with the idea of a negative feedback loop. However they also acknowledge the fact that this loop works both ways. This positive loops leads to an expanding culture of trust and integrity. 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. The honor code system should be enforce in all schools so its promotion of academic integrity and creation of a great learning
environment.
