Junior Algebra Honor Reflection

198 Words1 Page

Upon entry to my exchange program in the United States, I was placed in a Junior Algebra Honors class despite of my previous completion of the course back in China. Accordingly, the tests were relatively simple. Shortly after a unit test began, I completed it and handed it in to the teacher confidently. This took a turn for the worst however, as she had associated my quickness with cheating. This was obviously not the case, yet she insisted it true. No evidence had proven me guilty of such acts and on advice from my host family, I switched classes; this was an opportunity for me to regain my dignity. I asserted myself and requested to be advanced to the AP calculus course, of which I had been unaware. After strenuous study and aid from volunteer

  • Honor Code Dbq

    753 Words  | 4 Pages

    There is an ongoing debate about whether or not the honor code, a code that obliges students to report academic dishonesty of their fellow peers, is strict enough, with many students claiming they feel that their privacy is being violated, and others worrying that requiring reporting cheating to superiors will cause friction amongst the student body. Others claim that with the abundance of recent statistics of high level cheating and plagiarism, a stricter honor code is a necessity. While it is important to respect the student’s privacy, and maintain an ideal learning environment, the fact remains that the honor code, as it is currently, is underperforming, and that stricter measures need to be taken, for the sake of a fairer learning environment. The main contention of the test takers seems to be that being closely watched and supervised make them feel uncomfortable and invalidated.
