    Honor Council Qualities

    One quality that is very important for an honor council member is to be alert and have good listening skills. These are good qualities to have because you have to listen to the whole story well to discover the truth. The second quality that is important for an honor council member to have is confidentiality. Confidentiality is an important quality to have because an honor council member has to keep all hearings confidential and tell no one else about them. Another reason that confidentiality is important is because the person that had to go to a hearing most likely does not want anyone to know that they had to go to honor council. Knowledge of the school’s honor code and discipline policy is a very good quality of an honor council member because…

    Aggie Code Of Honor

    One thing that I greatly appreciated, when I was deciding which univeristy to attend, was how well Texas A&M expressed the Aggie Code of Honor. "Aggies do not lie, cheat, or steal or tolerate those who do." A very simple saying, but one that is heard and seen all around campus. It is tied to the university as much as the word "Howdy". It is great that this motto of academic integrity is already stiched to Texas A&M because its easier for professors and the university to promote academic integrity. Professors and the university need to continue to explicitly preach the Aggie Code of Honor throughout the semester as a reminder for students. Also one thing that students are not knowlegeable of are the consequences of acting acadebmically dishonest.…

    National Honor Society: Self Analysis

    A member of such a society based on character, scholarship and leadership is one who can demonstrate these three tasks in their everyday lives. The ease of maintaining a balanced schedule whilst also upholding these characteristics may not be the simplest of tasks at times, even for the best students, although the drive to strive for this essence sets individuals apart from the majority. I believe that in my everyday life, I demonstrate these ideals and would heartily enjoy guiding others in them. To be exercise any of these qualities requires one’s own desire, a desire which I not only try to instill into myself, but into others as well. Being part of the National Honor Society would not only be an honor in and of itself, but an honor which is able to transcend its membership and let a person such as myself try to better the school, town, and familial communities by doing good in each of them.…

    Synthesis Essay On Honor Code

    The roots of honor codes can be traced back to the first founding universities in America. While not an official school requisite, many institutions of higher education have embraced them to promote honesty and integrity within their school community. At my own school, Saint Mary's College High School, the honor code even goes so far as to lay out possible punishments of suspension and expulsion for those who do not comply. However important the school's administration views the honor code, I support the elimination of it all together because it does nothing to help promote a positive learning environment.…
