Unfortunately, in universities across the country, academic dishonesty is rampant, especially among business schools. The majority of university students today report that they have engaged in some form of academic dishonesty, such as cheating on exams, plagiarizing the works of others, and/or participating in other various unethical activities. I am well aware of this issue and consider it to be our mutual responsibility to do all we can to eliminate academic dishonesty from our university, beginning with ourselves. Unethical actions do not only affect the dishonest student; they are grossly unfair to those who put forth genuine effort and are concerned with upholding themselves to the highest ethical standards.
For this course, actions which constitute academic dishonesty include but are not limited to: 1) cheating in any way on an exam or assignment, 2) turning in work which is not entirely your own original work for this course, 3) falsifying data in any way, and 4 ) plagiarism of others’ ideas or your own, regardless of intent. With regard to this last item, remember that improperly citing a source of information can be plagiarism. For instance, using a parenthetical citation when a direct quotation should be made is plagiarism, whether you intend to plagiarize or not.
For instance, please see the examples below.
Original source: While high price increases may be inevitable, retailers should avoid them…
Correct parenthetical citation: Retailers would do well to not implement large price increases (Martin, Ponder, and Lueg, 2009).
Correct direct quotation: Firms like Ikea or Amazon might have no choice but to implement large price increases, but “retailers should avoid them” (Martin, Ponder, and Lueg, 2009, p. 592).
All information sources used in any project should be cited and referenced appropriately using APA (American Psychological Association) formatting. Also, academic dishonesty (e.g. plagiarism) in any group activity will affect all of the members of that group. For this reason, you are urged to be very careful in selecting whom you work with as well as ensure that all of the written work submitted by your team is written with all team members present and diligently comparing information sources to your written work.
Students found participating in any form of academic dishonesty will receive penalties including, but not limited to, receiving a grade reduction for the affected assignment, including a grade of zero, or failing the course. All occurrences of academic misconduct will be handled in accordance with the EWU Academic Integrity Policy. Students are strongly encouraged to read this policy.
