Using
the Richard G. Trefry Library’s search tool, Summon, select a recent
article or news story about honesty or academic integrity that was not
already presented in the lesson and is different than your classmates’ posts. Link the story in your forum post and summarize the situation. Discuss the present and future impact of the situation. Now that you have conducted some preliminary research, how might an allegation questioning your academic
integrity impact your future? Properly format the article in one
documentation style at the bottom of your post. Be sure to identify the
citation method you used.Call on the rubric (linked below) to ensure you are meeting participation expectations. Please make sure you do the following:

COLL100 Forum Rubric
The intent of the Forums is to hold collegiate conversations with classmates and the instructor. The Forums are designed
to challenge your thinking, help you explore concepts, and make connections to each other, to the content, and to the
instructor.
The grading rubric shows how your conversations will be graded. To maximize your grade potential, take a moment to
familiarize yourself with the rubric below. Each week, be sure to respond to the instructor’s questions, reach out to at
least 2 classmates, answer your classmates’ questions, and manage your own discussion threads. Return frequently to
your own thread in order to drive the conversation and contribute to the dialogue when it is appropriate to do so.
Robust conversations, relevant to the topic, are rewarded.
