Pledge of Academic Honesty
I solemnly declare that all scholarly pursuits undertaken throughout the duration of this course, as well as any forthcoming educational endeavors, will stem from my own individual exertion and original cognition. I commit to being the solitary creator of all tasks, ensuring they mirror my unique concepts and efforts. Additionally, I grasp that unless expressly acknowledged, paraphrased, or cited, all written content will be entirely authentic and not drawn from external origins.
Acknowledgment of Peer Contributions
I admit that appropriating any segment of a peer’s dialogue without proper citation violates academic integrity. Furthermore, I comprehend that modifying a peer’s work without due recognition constitutes an act of academic dishonesty.
Responsibility to Uphold Academic Integrity
I pledge to promptly inform my instructor should I encounter any instance where another student has misrepresented my work or the work of others. I acknowledge the collective duty we carry in maintaining the principles of academic honesty at Capella University.
Guidelines for Quoting, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing
When integrating direct quotations from a source, I will enclose the text in quotation marks, provide contextualization for the quote, and adhere to APA formatting standards for both in-text citations and complete references. In cases of paraphrasing or summarizing, I will rephrase the content using original language and sentence structures while ensuring appropriate citation within the text and at the end of my work.
