Reflect on your current understanding of academic and professional integrity.
Integrity means doing the right things, when no one is looking that means upgrading the
academic honesty in my preview. Academic honesty and policies mean doing your own work
and not taking help with anyone, this can be possible to take the home exam with yourself. This
also means writing your own papers and properly using your resources. This means analysing
and taking the online quiz and not taking help from the notebook or any close friend. This quiz is
given by me in order to do not cheat yourself on an exam and the assignment. This also upgrade
the integrity to believing the principles and standards of the community and with the help of this
we can make sure our behaviour is consistent with the help of these principles and the given
standards. Academic integrity is important because for the various reasons. Having the academic
integrity means other can trust or believe you easily. As well as the peoples with whom you
handling is know better that they can believe on your work honestly and you do the thing that
you say and promised with others. When every people will understand that you believe in doing
the right thing and your behaviour is also consistent with the same beliefs and values. However,
trust is one the main character of the successful leader or students within the learning classroom
(Brinkmann Cash and Price2021). These helps to individual grow the good reputation in order to
maintain the honesty in every field, fair and trustworthy as for example the individuals that are
successful in business and will easily understand the benefits of acting the integrity.
