I am deeply honored and humbled to be among the brilliant and best students who are being considered for the NHS. I have been looking forward to this opportunity since I was accepted at Brophy. I know that National Honor Society does great things in our world today. I was a part of National Junior Honor Society at Saint Theresa Catholic School and that that has had a huge impact on the person I am today. I believe that I exemplify the four pillars of National Honors Society, those being character, scholarship, leadership, and service.
There is an ongoing debate about whether or not the honor code, a code that obliges students to report academic dishonesty of their fellow peers, is strict enough, with many students claiming they feel that their privacy is being violated, and others worrying that requiring reporting cheating to superiors will cause friction amongst the student body. Others claim that with the abundance of recent statistics of high level cheating and plagiarism, a stricter honor code is a necessity. While it is important to respect the student’s privacy, and maintain an ideal learning environment, the fact remains that the honor code, as it is currently, is underperforming, and that stricter measures need to be taken, for the sake of a fairer learning environment. The main contention of the test takers seems to be that being closely watched and supervised make them feel uncomfortable and invalidated.
I have been sanctioned for cheating in academic misconduct. Cheating as per Aggie Honor Code is use of unauthenticated materials in any homework, exam or research or anyone who gives assistance to student regarding research without permission of instructor. If a student is found doing any offensive activity at anytime during commencement of course he/she will be sanctioned Honor code which will be handed over to Honor court to take actions according to rules. Academic misconduct represents a wrong picture of knowledge and capabilities, which subverts the instructor's ability to interpret how well you are doing in the course or how far you can go in academics. Instructors have the power to define academic integrity in their classes, because the expectations for academic performance are directly based on the objectives of the class.
So, after an agonizing twenty minutes of receiving compliments by strangers about completing the pretest after five minutes and having the teacher call me to the front to demonstrate long division, while she went to have a conversation with the principal about what to do with me, they decided to put me in a class that had both fourth and fifth graders. Right now, I was
Cheating is using dishonest means in an attempt to obtain credit for academic work. The following offenses, including, but not limited to those below, are considered examples of cheating: Using/providing notes, documents, answers, aids, or helping another student on any assessment (i.e. test, quiz, exam, etc.) or assignment unless expressly permitted by the teacher. This includes persons outside of the school building.
However, my friend said something different. “She wanted to copy my answers, she was cheating. ” I was immediately send to the Dean’s office. At the Dean, the teacher came and gave us another test.
As a member of the TRiO program at Polk State College in Lakeland, FL, I have been encouraged students to keep with the education in college and help them with their assignments. When I saw a student having troubles with a topic in mathematic or chemistry, I address to the student(s), and I offer them a help or any advice that they could need. Constantly, I was working to improve my communicate skills to give a friendly, clear and professional information of the program or any other topic related to the education system at Polk State College. Usually, I took the initiative to talk with the student(s) about the multiples opportunist and helps that exist in the program, such as personal tutor, support in class with his/her assignments, and a
As emphasis is placed on the importance of the test often, the reason for the placement of importance is overlooked. This results in “teaching the test” and student testing anxieties, both of which skew the results of the test, and can cause concerns for cheating.

English 102 Reflection During the course of English 102, I took this year of the spring semester. I have accomplished a variety of goals I once thought were impossible. I have not only grown as a writer and a student but as an individual as well. I feel that through my experience of this English course, I have achieved knowledge and self-confidence to step out into the real world.
Depending on how desperate a teacher is for good test scores, inappropriate preparations can be made before testing, sometimes even to the point of cheating. While having standards and a uniform teaching model, high -stakes testing is generally detrimental to the education of America. The importance of these tests has become the be-all and end-all of high school. The accountability of the testing will follow the student throughout his or her educational life. Despite being held in such high regard, the high-stakes testing effects are far from the desired and predicted
Some students may crumble under the pressure of taking a test. Teachers may be motivated to work harder to make sure that their school meets its expectations. On the other hand, there are some teachers who are willing to cheat in
In my early high school years I was in my first Spanish class. The class was extremely difficult and many students struggled with the class including myself. As the end of the year came it was time for the final exam. On the first day of testing, the student aid of the class was able to take a picture of answer key scantron used for grading. This picture was sent to one person, who sent it to another, who sent it to the whole class and sure enough the next day for the final exam I personally knew that over half the class had the picture of the 100% scantron on their phones and used it for the exam to get an A. This act was immoral by everyone but the group as a whole all justified our actions by stating, “everyone’s doing, even the student
This was the first time my integrity was called into question, and the most crucial moment in my life. I understood the importance of this decision, and how it would affect my future. I also understood that alcohol is a drug, which in turn could result in addiction, and causing my grades to drop substantially. I wanted to resist, I truly did, however, to be utterly blunt, there were just too many girls. I don’t exactly recall what i did after that, except for the fact that I lost my shirt, and a piece of my integrity as well.
In turn, the act of indiscipline among tutors makes high school scholars start embracing deception as a regular activity. Although the primary aim of standardized tests is to gauge the level of intelligence and students’ preparedness for a college education, aided cheating makes learners develop bad morals which are likely to negatively impact on their future life. The future of high school students significantly relies on what they are taught by their teachers as well as what they see in the society (Bursztyn and Jensen 1342). By making cheating look normal, high school graduates are likely to continue with the vice in college and future
