NHS FPX 4000 assessment 1 Pledge of Academic Honesty

 

Recognition of Peer Contributions

I acknowledge that utilizing any portion of a peer’s discourse without proper citation constitutes a breach of academic ethics. Moreover, I understand that making slight modifications to a peer’s work without due credit constitutes an act of academic dishonesty.

Obligation to Maintain Academic Integrity

I promise to promptly notify my instructor should I encounter any instance where another student has misrepresented my work or the work of others. I recognize the shared responsibility we bear in upholding the standards of academic honesty at Capella University.

Directives for Quoting, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing

When incorporating direct quotes from a source, I will encase the text in quotation marks, provide contextualization for the quote, and adhere to APA formatting standards for both in-text citations and complete references. In instances of paraphrasing or summarizing, I will rearticulate the content using unique language and sentence structures while ensuring appropriate citation within the text and at the conclusion of my work.

Exploration of Academic Integrity Resources

I am committed to thoroughly exploring the recommended materials on academic integrity, which encompass:

• Guidelines on Academic Honesty & APA Style and Organization.
• University Policy 3.01.01: Academic Integrity and Honesty [PDF].
• Strategies for Upholding Academic Integrity.
• Techniques for Preventing Plagiarism.

Ramifications of Academic Misconduct

I am aware that any transgression of the aforementioned standards constitutes plagiarism, a grave violation of academic integrity according to Capella University’s regulations. In the event of identifying any instance of academic dishonesty, instructors will:

• Initiate direct contact with me to address the alleged infraction.
• Offer an opportunity for me to provide a response and challenge any accusations of plagiarism.
• Enforce penalties, which may encompass a zero score for the assignment or unit, a failing final grade, among other consequences.
• Officially report the violation to Capella University in accordance with established protocols.
