After reviewing the course material for UMass Boston's Academic Integrity and Plagiarism Consequences, I understand that academic integrity entails being honest and trustworthy while being accountable, courteous, and fair in all of the academic work at the university, I submit. Plagiarism should be avoided since, in my opinion, it is a kind of stealing.
