Instead of reading the assigned text for a course, you read a summary (such as CliffNotes) of the book. Is this academically honest?
- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
A. YesExplanation
Reading a summary instead of the assigned text for a course is not academically honest. Academically honest behavior involves engaging with the assigned material, understanding its content, and forming one's own interpretations and analysis. By relying on a summary, the student is not fully engaging with the text and may miss important details or nuances. This can lead to a shallow understanding of the subject matter and hinder the development of critical thinking skills. Therefore, it is not academically honest to substitute the assigned text with a summary.Rate this question:

- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
B. NoExplanation
This is not academically honest because even though you didn't copy the paper word for word, you still used someone else's work as a basis for your own.

- A.
Yes
- B.

1. When writing your paper, you cut and paste from a variety of papers and Internet sources. You include all of those sources in a bibliography at the end of the paper. Is this academically honest?
- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
B. NoExplanation
No, this is not academically honest. When writing a paper, it is important to properly cite and give credit to the original authors or sources of the information used. Simply including all the sources in a bibliography is not enough, as it does not indicate which specific information was taken from each source. Proper citation and referencing should be done within the paper itself to avoid plagiarism and uphold academic integrity.Rate this question:

- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
B. NoExplanation
Including your name as one of the authors of the project when you did not contribute any work is not academically honest.
