Our word for today is scrupulous meaning one having moral
integrity or acting in strict regard for what is considered right. In an academic setting the
scrupulous behavior of one is paramount. In other words, many students lack the
academic integrity of honesty toward their studying when relying on good grades; so they lean toward
cheating to accomplish success. As TRiO participants, you
realize the scrupulous preparation for each of class to avoid the short term
solution of cheating to obtain the right answers. You understand that academic
dishonesty consists of any type of cheating that occurs in relation in
the formal academic exercise of
obtaining knowledge to include Plagiarism. Remember cheating entails any taking or giving of information which one will use to determine credit for course work including copying from another student's test, allowing anther student to copy from your test, or even having someone else to write a paper on your behalf.
So I plea today
that you continue the scrupulous work of preparing for each class with your unique studying habits without relying of any format of cheating.
