Research Papers / Academic honesty research paper (with a survey) [5]
1. Do you think honesty is an important characteristic for one to succeed in life? How do you think honesty would affect one's life?
I'd have to say it depends on the situation you are in. I dont think honesty has anything to do with success. Some people would tend to make excuses, or lies to achieve success. It depends on what other people call karma. Its all part of life. Even the most successful person in the world--lets say have lied already. But im not telling people that its good to lie or its ok to lie, but its always gonna be part of how our life spins its wheel.
2. How about in academic career?
Well, academic career..Honesty is important. Who are you gonna fool? Who are you gonna lie at other than yourself.
3. Have you ever been a witness to someone committing academic cheating (any form)?
YES. as in big YES.
4. If yes for the above question, what was his/her relationship with you? (good friends, classmate, stranger, etc.) Explain how s/he cheated? How did you feel at that time?
Classmate. This one pays one student from another section to do the dirty job for her..like projects.. and some during exams . sharing of answers.
5. Talk about how you think someone who cheats.
I pitty them.
6. Have you ever cheated in academic field (any form, include accidental failure of citing source)? Could you explain the situation? How did it affect your later career?
Yes. honestly.. I was failing calculus and i dint like the very fact that i was; considering myself being the math wizard i was during my younger years.. one time i asked my better-in-calculus classmate to do my assignment for me. it dint affect me that bad. he later on tought me how the numbers and variables rolled in that subject.
7. If not, do you feel proud of yourself? Do you feel confident of success?
Not really, i still need to learn alot. not just more information but also on how to get the proper personality of a successful person. For people out there, Dont rely on people beside you all the time. they wont be there for the rest of your life.
