Answer to Question #272146 in Python for Johanna Immanuel

Question

clear that plagiarism is a sticky ethical issue, ranging from accidental infractions to outright theft of intellectual property. Review the Code of Academic Integrity in the UoPeople Catalog (available on UoPeople's website, https://www.uopeople.edu), and then write a reflection answering the following questions:

1. Did any of the information in the Catalog - such as the consequences - surprise you? Why or why not?

2. Given the potential consequences for plagiarizing, why do you think students engage in plagiarism? Be sure to explore at least two possible reasons why students might plagiarize.

3. What strategies will you use to avoid plagiarism?

Answer 1

No!

• Fabrication—falsifying documents, changing or inventing data, citing sources not consulted, and misrepresenting citations.
• Unauthorized Assistance—completion of an academic exercise or exam by someone other than the student, using or receiving copies of the work of someone who had previously taken the UoPeople course, or collaborating without acknowledging the collaboration. While collaboration is a key element to a positive University of the People learning experience, it is critical that students acknowledge any collaboration and its extent in all submitted course work.
• Misrepresentation—lying or misrepresenting a student’s personal situation to a University member in an attempt to receive special circumstances, permissions, quiz and/or exam resets, or extensions.
• Collusion—assisting another student in committing an act of academic dishonesty, including providing information about or copies of one’s own work from a course that had been previously taken at UoPeople.
