Section 1
An Introduction including a description of Academic Integrity
Academic integrity means the belief that an instructor, scholar and all
members of the academic community act with honesty, regard and trust or to act
impartially and honestly when busy in academic activities. It is the base of
university's objective for enabling an exchange of opinions and creates new
knowledge by being honest and trust on each other (Taylor and Bicak, 2019).
Academic integrity is all about performing, submitting and getting credit for your own
work.
It has five pillars which are explained underneath:
Honesty: Honesty is an essential substructure of teaching, learning, research
and service. It is all about the sincerity which means being honest about the thought
which are your personal and which are derived from some other.
Trust: This is another substructure of academic work which allows to
collaborate, to share the data and to spread new thoughts independently without any
fear. This factor in other people and in your community eases working relationships
which is mostly encouraged by faculties who set clear road map for assignments and
for judgment of work and by students who is honest and genuine (Singhr, 2017).
