Academic integrity is very important here at ASU. College students today are seen as responsible mature adults and know that cheating is unacceptable. Pearl Bailey once said, “The first and worst of all frauds is to cheat one's self. All sin is easy after that.” With cheating comes consequences and according to the academic integrity they are pretty bad.

ASU makes it really for students to stay within the “integrity” lines. In the PowerPoint presentation Joe Bunker stated that studies have shown that acting with integrity or doing the right thing can become a habit. If we listen to Joe and do the right thing we wont ever have to worry about the consequences of cheating because we will never be cheating in the first place. I always have believed in doing the right thing: it has paid of for me. I do not believe I would have arrived where I am today if I tried to cheat my way through high school. ASU is a very scholarly university who I would hope would never accept people who steal papers.

ASU is very strict when it comes to cheating. If we cheat we could possibly have a bad mark on our record for the rest of our college education. All in all cheating is not worth it we lose credibility as a student and in reality are looked at differently by our employers, our professors and or peers. Why would we bother spending our hard earned money to go to a good school if we are going to cheat? My education is very important to me and that is why I will never be academically dishonest.
