About This Quiz
Academic Integrity Quizzes & Trivia

All UEP students must pass this quiz before being registered for their second semester of course work.

2. You discover that an assigned essay is on a topic you wrote a paper on last term.  You print a copy and hand it in with a new cover page.  Is this academically honest?

Explanation

No, this is not academically honest. Handing in a previously written paper as your own without proper citation or acknowledgement is considered plagiarism. Plagiarism is a serious academic offense that involves presenting someone else's work as your own, which is unethical and against academic integrity. It is important to always give credit to the original author and properly cite any sources used in your work.

Submit
3. 1.     You download a paper from the Internet and use it to write your own paper without citing it.  You change some words but the content of the two papers is basically the same.  Is it true that due to the vast amount of information on the Internet, it is very difficulty for professors to detect this type of Internet fraud?

Explanation

Plagiarism is a serious academic offense, and professors have various tools and techniques to detect it, even with the vast amount of information available on the Internet. Professors can use plagiarism detection software, compare the writing style and content of different papers, and have a good understanding of their students' capabilities and writing patterns. Therefore, it is not true that it is very difficult for professors to detect this type of Internet fraud.

Submit
4. 1.     Your friend gives you a copy of the paper he/she wrote last term for the same course you are currently taking.  You don’t copy the paper but re-type it changing words and inserting some of your own.  Is this academically honest?

Explanation

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. By re-typing and changing words, you are still presenting someone else's ideas as your own, which is a form of plagiarism. It is important to always give credit to the original author and properly cite any sources used in your work.

Submit
5. 1.     You download a paper from the Internet and use it to get started on your paper.  You are using the thesis from the Internet paper without citing it but everything else is your own work.  Is this academically honest?

Explanation

Using someone else's thesis without citing it is considered plagiarism, which is a form of academic dishonesty. Even if the rest of the work is original, not giving credit to the original source is unethical and goes against academic integrity. Proper citation is necessary to acknowledge the ideas and contributions of others and to avoid plagiarism.

Submit
6. 1.     You are assigned to work on a group project.  Because you are behind in your other courses, the group agrees to take on your share of the work.  You include your name as one of the authors of the project.  Is this academically honest?  

Explanation

Including your name as one of the authors of the project when you did not contribute any work is not academically honest. Academic honesty requires that you give credit where credit is due and accurately represent your own contributions. In this case, by including your name as an author, you are taking credit for work that you did not do, which is a form of plagiarism and dishonesty.

Submit
7. 1.     If you do not know that your actions could result in a charge of plagiarism or academic misconduct, are you likely to be excused because you did not know the rules?

Explanation

Ignorance of the rules does not excuse one from the consequences of their actions. In the case of plagiarism or academic misconduct, it is important for individuals to be aware of the rules and regulations in place to avoid any violations. Even if someone is unaware of the rules, they are still responsible for their actions and can be held accountable for any misconduct committed.

Submit
8. Here is a paragraph taken from Reaching higher: The power of expectation in schooling by Rhona Weinstein (2002).   Second, parents have a unique and potentially more positive view of the strengths and individuality of their children.

[Parents] “have a long-term stake in their children’s development” and in general they “hope for the best for their children” (Weinstein, 2002, p. 17) 

Explanation

The given answer is Academically Honest (AH) because it accurately reflects the information presented in the paragraph. The student sentence correctly states that parents have a long-term stake in their children's development and generally hope for the best for their children, which is supported by the information from Rhona Weinstein's book.

Submit

It not only compromises the quality of one's education but also undermines the integrity of the academic institution. Plagiarism can result in penalties such as failing grades, academic probation, suspension, or even expulsion. Moreover, it is not only harmful to the individual committing plagiarism but also to others, as it devalues the original work and ideas of others. Therefore, the consequences of plagiarism are not minor.

Submit

Explanation

The correct answer is citing all material used from an Internet source just as you would any other source.

It is important to cite sources to avoid plagiarism and to provide credibility to the research.

Submit
12. Which is NOT a basic principle of academic honesty?

Collaboration and group work are often encouraged in academic settings, as long as proper credit is given to all contributors. This principle emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and citing the work of others when it is used or relied upon. The other options listed in the question are all basic principles of academic honesty, as they emphasize fairness, truthfulness, and giving credit where it is due.

16. 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?

Explanation

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.

Submit

Explanation

Using someone else's old exams to prepare for your own exams is not considered academically honest. It is a form of cheating as you are utilizing someone else's work to gain an unfair advantage. It is important to rely on your own knowledge and understanding of the material to properly prepare for exams.

Further, they have a long-term stake in their children’s development.

23. Your professor has just given a take - home exam without stating expressly that you are not allowed to work with others in completing the exam.  You collaborate with others to complete the take-home exam.  Is this academically honest

Explanation

Collaborating with others to complete a take-home exam, even if the professor did not explicitly state that working with others is not allowed, is not academically honest. Academic honesty requires individual effort and integrity in completing assignments and exams. Collaborating with others in such a situation would be considered a form of cheating, as it undermines the purpose of the exam and the assessment of individual knowledge and skills.

Submit
24. Instead of reading the assigned text for a course, you read a summary (such as CliffNotes) of the book.  Is this academically honest?

Explanation

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.

Dewey (1899) says that the community must provide the best for all its children.  

Explanation
