Student Reflections on Academic Honesty

 Know What is Academic Honesty

Today we had an activity on Academic Honesty. It was interesting while we learned new things on the school and its functions. Academic Honesty is being honest and all about the credit you give to others because they help you. We also learned about Academic Dishonesty and the way it is different from Academic Honesty. 

Our teacher Ms Kavita gave us a few examples on both the subjects. After a while, we had an interesting open discussion on the topic and recognized a few sentences whether they are Academic Honesty or Academic Dishonesty. This class was really nice and informative. We were happy with our understanding. It was quite fun.

Real Work: When There is Academic Honesty

On Wednesday when I had computers, I got to know a lot about Academic Honesty and Dishonesty and how to prevent it. Kavita Ma’am asked us how we would feel if somebody pretended your work to be theirs. Many students said that they would feel sad, angry, upset and many such negative feelings. This shows that committing Academic Dishonesty or Plagiarism is not the right thing to do, as it hurts the feelings of the person who has put in a lot of good effort.

We also learnt that there are many ways of committing plagiarism like copying the information from the Internet and not mentioning the site, taking help from somebody and not giving them the due credit, etc.

I hope that people give the credit whenever needed and not commit plagiarism, at least I won’t and I encourage others also to do the same.
