What is academic honesty?

According to the CSUSM University Catalog pdf, 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.
