During your college career, the need to maintain academic integrity will be a constant requirement. After reading the lecture pages for this week, access the South University Policies and Guidelines under Course Home using the navigation bar on the left side of the screen and review it for guidelines related to integrity.

For this discussion, we will consider what academic integrity means, as well as how integrity in general applies to a successful career beyond the classroom.

Based on your readings, respond to the following questions:

How would you define academic integrity?
What can you do to avoid plagiarism?
What do you think maintaining your integrity would involve in your chosen career?
Do you think maintaining your personal integrity is important? Why, or why not?
Make sure that you check your submission for spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
