Academic integrity means being honest and responsible in your studies. It involves doing your own work and giving credit to others for their ideas. For example, if you write a paper and use information from a book, you must mention the book as a source. This shows respect for the author’s hard work and helps others find the original ideas. Cheating, copying, or using someone else's work without permission breaks the rules of academic integrity and can lead to serious consequences, like failing a class. To maintain academic integrity, always ask for help if you're unsure about how to complete an assignment correctly. Being honest not only helps you learn better but also builds trust with your teachers and classmates.
