Pledge of Academic Honesty
I hereby pledge that all academic work produced for this course, as well as for any other educational endeavors I undertake, will be solely my own creation. I commit to being the sole author of all my assignments, ensuring that they reflect my own ideas and efforts. Additionally, I acknowledge that unless explicitly acknowledging, rephrasing, or summarizing the contributions of others, all written content will be completely original and not sourced from external materials.
Acknowledgment of Peer Contributions
I understand that using any portion of a peer’s discussion post without proper acknowledgment constitutes academic misconduct. Furthermore, I recognize that merely modifying a peer’s post with minor adjustments constitutes an act of academic dishonesty.
Responsibility to Uphold Academic Integrity
I pledge to promptly notify my instructor if I come across any instance where another student has misrepresented my work or the work of others. I recognize the collective responsibility we share in upholding the integrity of academic standards at Capella University.
Guidelines for Quoting, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing
When directly quoting a source, I will enclose the text in quotation marks, provide context for the quote, and adhere to APA formatting guidelines for both in-text citations and complete references. In the case of paraphrasing or summarizing, I will rephrase the content using distinct language and sentence structures while ensuring proper citation within the text and at the end of my work.
Exploration of Academic Integrity Resources
I will diligently explore the recommended resources on academic integrity, including:
- Academic Honesty & APA Style and Organization.
- University Policy 3.01.01: Academic Integrity and Honesty [PDF].
- Upholding Academic Integrity.
- Preventing Plagiarism.
Consequences of Academic Misconduct
I understand that any violation of the aforementioned standards constitutes plagiarism, a serious breach of academic integrity according to Capella University’s policies. If an instructor identifies any instance of academic dishonesty, they will:
- Contact me directly to address the alleged violation.
- Provide an opportunity for me to respond and dispute any accusations of plagiarism.
- Impose penalties, which may include a zero score for the assignment or unit, a failing final grade, among other repercussions.
- Officially report the violation to Capella University in accordance with established procedures.
Confirmation and Agreement
By signing below, I affirm my understanding of and commitment to adhere to the aforementioned policies. I acknowledge that these policies align with Capella University’s academic regulations. If I have any questions or concerns regarding this pledge, I will seek clarification from my instructor before signing.
