Academic integrity should be a part in each and every school. Academic integrity is the avoidance of any misconduct with academics. If you see or hear about someone misusing material, turn them in! Why let someone get a grade for something they didn't even complete? It is his or her own fault for being dishonest.
There are many forms of misconduct with academics. One could cheat, plagiarize, lie, be dishonest, and simply not cite their sources. With any work you complete, cite your sources. It is that easy. Students lie about the work they turn in often. If you know they cheated or plagiarised, or even paraphrased, let the instructor know. The instructor has the right to know because catching this kind of behavior is his responsibility.
Academic integrity is very important in schools. It helps the lazy people and procrastinators get the grade they deserve. Do not be afraid to let the instructor know when someone is being dishonest about their paper. Most of the time, all you have to do is cite your sources in order to get the correct grade. Homework can be that easy without cheating.
