CHEATING

Imagine what our world would be like if researchers reported fake results that were then used to develop new machines or medical treatments or to build bridges, airplanes, or subway systems. Fortunately, few researchers actually do falsify their findings; most follow the rules of academic honesty. This honesty is a foundation of higher education, and activities that jeopardize it can damage everyone: your country, your community, your college, your classmates, and yourself.
