Write a 100- to 150-word response to each of the following questions:

These are all things that students have been taught not to do since early elementary school. Then after reading the Student Code of Integrity there were a few things in it that surprised me. For example, the self-plagiarism rule surprised me because I never thought of taking my own work as plagiarizing. I normally just thought of plagiarizing as copying other author’s work.

There are all kinds of different things that will make choosing this path harder such as stress, being behind in work, tired, or feeling pressured. I also was able to learn some new things about our social contract. We have to be able to learn what is expected of us in order to survive. I learned that biologists figured out that all humans value fairness and want to be recognized and get what we deserve. I learned that unethical actions might cause a culture of not being trusted.
