Academic honesty and integrity are the foundation of educational institutions. "Without maintenance of high standards of honesty, members of the instructional faculty are defrauded, students are unfairly treated, and society itself is poorly served" (UNC Charlotte, 2009). Instructors are primarily responsible for maintaining and enforcing academic honesty and integrity. "Students are obligated not to violate the basic standards of integrity, and they are expected to take an active role in encouraging other members to respect those standards" (UNC Charlotte, 2009). These policies are laid out clearly for students in the Code of Student Academic Integrity.
Plagiarism and cheating are the most common types of academic dishonesty. UNC Charlotte (2009), defines plagiarism as "intentionally or knowingly presenting the work of another as one's own (i.e., without proper acknowledgment of the source)" while cheating is defined as "intentionally using or attempting to use unauthorized materials, information, notes, study aids or other devices in any academic exercise".
