- NHS FPX 4000 Assessment 1 Pledge of Academic Honesty.
Pledge of Academic Honesty
All the work I do for this class and all my classes will be wholly and entirely my own. This means I will be the sole author of it. This also means that, as far as I know, these will not be the words, sentences, and paragraphs of anyone else unless I am directly quoting, paraphrasing, or summarizing someone else’s work. Explore NHS FPX 4000 Assessment 3 Applying Ethical Principles for more information.
Using any part of a peer’s discussion post without proper citation is considered plagiarism. Utilizing a peer’s discussion post as a template for my post and only slightly modifying words is also plagiarism. I will alert my instructor if another learner has misrepresented my work or the work of others. I understand that we all have a role in protecting the integrity of the Capella degree we all work hard to achieve.
Proper Citation and Paraphrasing
If I am quoting someone directly, I will add quotation marks, provide some context for the quotation, and format the quote according to APA, including an in-paragraph citation with page number and a complete reference citation at the end. If I am paraphrasing or summarizing work from another source, I will cite it both within the text and as a reference at the end of my work. When paraphrasing or summarizing, I will use words other than the words being paraphrased and change the basic sentence structure.
I will review the following resources on academic honesty:
- Academic Honesty & APA Style and Formatting.
- University Policy 3.01.01: Academic Integrity and Honesty [PDF].
- Maintaining Academic Honesty.
- Avoiding Plagiarism.
