Academic Honesty
Do you feel the learner violated the university policies on academic honesty? What do you see as the academic honesty issue involved?
The PhD learner in question has clearly violated the Capella University policies on academic honesty. The learner has engaged in plagiarism, as clearly defined in the University's policy statement on academic honesty as including the "rephrasing [of] ideas of another without properly acknowledging the source" (pg. 1). The statement further clarifies that sources that require citing include "information and opinions gained through other people," which would apply directly to this particular learner's use of other student's postings. The case study presented suggests that the learner does not directly submit the papers that he purchases over the Internet, but rather that he first revises them and then submits them. This caveat may lead some to believe that he has not violated the academic honesty regulations of the university, but indeed he has. The use of anyone else's ideas or opinions constitutes plagiarism if the ideas are not properly cited. Furthermore, the academic honesty policy clearly states that collaboration is not acceptable unless explicitly allowed for by the professor. Purchasing papers on the Internet and then re-working them to be submitted as one's own work could in fact be considered a form of collaboration with some unknown source on the Internet. Finally, the very act of purchasing a paper over the Internet to assist in the completion of one's own work is against the spirit of academic integrity.
What are the options available to you?
The options available are very clear, as they have been set forth in the policy statement of Capella University on Academic Honesty. The policy statement clearly states "Capella University learners, faculty, and staff share the responsibility to promptly report any suspected violation of academic honesty" (pg. 1). This statement could not be any more clear, and not only does it compel a member of the University community to report violations of academic honesty, but it extends this to the suspicion of academic dishonesty. In this particular case study, there is no suspicion, the learner has directly stated that he...

There are three types of goals to focus one: short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals. In a study environment, short-term goals would refer to attending classes, handing in assignments and studying for tests and other assessments.
