What is academic honesty?According to the
CSUSM
University Catalog
 ,
academic honesty is the responsibility of each
student.
Academic dishonesty diminishes the integrity
and quality of your college education. In addition
to failing an assignment or class, violations can
result in warning, probation, suspension, and
expulsion.
As you write your
paper, you'll need to cite quotations and ideas from the
sources you've found using APA or MLA Style.
