Introduction
This paper represents a remediation plan that is designed to assist the writers in assessing

sources used in this paper are derived from the Capella’s Writing Center. This paper also
discusses some of the way in which individual’s thought and ideas can be protected through
guidelines and copyright law. The paper is divided into different sections. The 1st part discusses
the concepts of academic dishonesty, plagiarisms as well as academic integrity. The 2nd part
describes the protocols and principles of citing sources. The 3rd part explains the differences
between paraphrasing, quoting and summarizing. Lastly, the 4th part discusses the changes that

1. Discussion of the concepts of academic dishonesty, plagiarism, and academic
integrity
Academic Honesty
It refers to performing work provided by lecturers without cheating, plagiarism,
tempering, lying, stealing, receiving or giving illegal aid from any other individual, or using any
other people ideas without recognizing the sources of information (McKay, Cray & Mittelman,
2019). It also refers to the quest for knowledge and truth by requiring personal and intellectual
honesty in teaching, learning, service, and research. Cultivating honesty sets the foundation for
permanent integrity. Academic honesty is the act of being honest in all the students’ dealings,
including class tests and assignments. It means the student doesn’t falsify or fabricate

information, or plagiarize material or cheat. When all the students are honest, then they all
promise to observe all the principles set by the Institution. Personal integrity and academic
honesty are important components of students’ character development and education. The board
of the university expects that learners will not lie, plagiarize, cheat or commit any acts that relate
to academic dishonesty. The success of the entire institution community relies on the learner
accepting responsibility for individual conduct in both academic and social endeavors. An honest
student mostly produces her/his work of their abilities and efforts, while a dishonest Learner
attempts to display skills and knowledge that does not belong to them.
The concept of plagiarism
Plagiarism means wrongful appropriation as well as embezzlement and publication of
other author’s thoughts, language, expression, or ideas as well as the representation of all these
components as the original work of another person (Heckler & Forde, 2015). Plagiarism is
regarded as academic dishonesty as well as a break of journalistic ethics. It is also the use of
video, music or image in your work without providing a suitable citation or obtaining proper
permission. According to some institutions and university especially Capella University,
plagiarism is regarded as an unethical practice. Plagiarism is the submission of different material
initially produced by other persons without referencing or acknowledgment of the work
(Sutherland, 2016). Plagiarism is a well-known fraud in academic, and it mostly leads to minor
or severe offenses (Sadeghi, 2016). The Universities initiates clear laws and rules that prevent
the issue of Plagiarisms.
Academic integrity
This is the act of performing the right thing without supervision. It is the process of
safeguarding the academic honesty and policies that are set by different universities and Colleges

(Cronan, Mullins & Douglas, 2018). At the personal level, Academic honesty is a situation
where an individual perform their work even if their friends offer them a copy of a take-home
exam. It refers to writing your work and accurately citing the resources used in the research
work. It is also the act of taking online reviews without the use or assistance of your friends or
textbooks.
Similarly, it could refer to reporting an individual has cheated on other assignment or an
exam. Integrity refers to believing in the standards and principles of the community as well as
making sure that the behavior of an individual is in line with those standards and principles. At
the course room level, academic integrity is being encouraged by explaining to the students the
important principles and rules of academic integrity. The course room also contains syllabus of
academic integrity.
2. Principles as well as protocols of citing sources
The three principles of citing sources include:
When you use one’s sources, you must, in turn, cite the source for any methods, ideas, or
words that are not yours: Writers can, therefore, prevent paraphrasing too closely in a situation
where they focus on memorizing what they truly know from the original, not its real words
(Lytle, Schock & Triantafyllidou, 2018). One way of doing this is by putting the original aside
when paraphrasing.
When quoting the exact words, you must place those words in a block quotation or
quotation marks, even if the source is cited in your text (Shamseer et al., 2015).
When you paraphrase passages or single lines, you must not use sentences that are the
same as the original work. In the process of paraphrasing the words, writers should use their
sentences (Koval & Benzar, 2018).
