As a student organization, the Honor Council believes that one of its responsibilities is educating fellow students not only on the importance of academic integrity, but also the methods by which academic integrity is achieved and intellectual attribution is held sacrosanct. Too often, students accused of academic dishonesty would never have found themselves in that situation had they been educated about proper methods of source citation and documentation. At the same time, ignorance is no defense. For these reasons, we hope that faculty and students alike will take the time to peruse the sites below dedicated to informing scholars about proper methods of source documentation.
