Pledge of Academic Honesty

I hereby affirm that all academic work produced for this course, as well as for any other courses I undertake, will solely be my own. I commit to being the exclusive author of all assignments, ensuring that my work reflects my own ideas and efforts. Furthermore, I acknowledge that unless specifically indicating, paraphrasing, or summarizing the contributions of others, all written content will be original and not sourced from external references.

Recognition of Peer Contributions

I understand that using any portion of a peer’s discussion post without proper citation constitutes academic dishonesty. Moreover, I recognize that making minimal changes to a peer’s post and passing it off as my own is considered an act of academic dishonesty.

Obligation to Uphold Academic Integrity

I commit to promptly notifying my instructor if I encounter any instance where another student has misrepresented my work or the work of others. I understand that maintaining academic integrity at Capella University is a collective responsibility.

Guidelines for Quoting, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing

When directly quoting a source, I will place the text in quotation marks, provide context for the citation, and follow APA formatting guidelines for in-text citations and references. When paraphrasing or summarizing, I will rewrite the content using different wording and sentence structures, while ensuring the appropriate citation within the text and in the reference list.

Exploration of Academic Integrity Resources

I will thoroughly explore the recommended resources on academic integrity, including:

1. Academic Honesty & APA Style and Organization.
2. University Policy 3.01.01: Academic Integrity and Honesty [PDF].
3. Upholding Academic Integrity.
4. Preventing Plagiarism.

Ramifications of Academic Misconduct

I acknowledge that any violation of the standards outlined above constitutes plagiarism, a serious breach of academic integrity under Capella University’s regulations. If an instructor detects academic dishonesty, they will:

1. Contact me directly to address the alleged violation.
2. Offer me an opportunity to respond and contest any accusations of plagiarism.
3. Impose penalties, which may include a zero score for the assignment or unit, a failing final grade, or other repercussions.
4. Report the violation to Capella University according to the established procedures.
