Pledge of Academic Integrity

I hereby pledge that all academic work produced for this course, as well as for any other courses I undertake, will be solely my own. I commit to being the sole author of all my work, ensuring that it reflects my own ideas and efforts. Furthermore, I acknowledge that unless explicitly citing, paraphrasing, or summarizing the work of others, all written content will be entirely original and not borrowed from any external sources.

Acknowledgment of Peer Work

I understand that utilizing any portion of a peer’s discussion post without appropriate acknowledgment constitutes plagiarism. Additionally, I recognize that merely modifying a peer’s post with minimal alterations constitutes an act of academic dishonesty.

Responsibility Towards Academic Integrity

I pledge to promptly notify my instructor if I encounter any instance where another learner has misrepresented my work or the work of others. I recognize the collective responsibility we share in upholding the integrity of Capella University’s academic standards.

Quotation, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing Guidelines

When directly quoting a source, I will enclose the text in quotation marks, provide context for the quote, and adhere to APA formatting guidelines for in-text citations and full references.

In the case of paraphrasing or summarizing, I will rephrase the content using different wording and sentence structures while ensuring proper citation within the text and at the end of my work.

Review of Academic Integrity Resources

I will diligently review the recommended resources on academic integrity, including:

• Academic Honesty & APA Style and Formatting.
• University Policy 3.01.01: Academic Integrity and Honesty [PDF].
• Maintaining Academic Honesty.
• Avoiding Plagiarism.

Consequences of Academic Dishonesty

I understand that any violation of the aforementioned standards constitutes plagiarism, a severe breach of academic integrity according to Capella University’s policies. If an instructor discovers any instance of academic dishonesty, they will:

• Contact me directly to address the alleged violation.
• Provide an opportunity for me to respond and refute any claims of plagiarism.
• Impose sanctions, which may include a zero score for the assignment or unit, a failing final grade, among others.
• Officially report the violation to Capella University in accordance with established policies.

Confirmation and Agreement
