6.       Winners of the What A Life Questionnaire Contest on Academic Integrity will be announced soon.  Answers to the first 5 questions from the questionnaire are:

a.       You weren’t feeling well the night before and were unable to get your homework done so you ask your friend if you can quickly copy his/ her math homework just this one time.  THAT IS CHEATING

b.       You and your friend agree to trade copies of each other’s notes to study from the night before a test but you don’t tell anyone else in your class.   THAT IS NOT CHEATING

c.       Your older sister did a book report a few years ago, and now you have one due for the very same book.  You read the book and basically agree with everything your sister said so you change a few words around, re-type it and turn it in.  THAT IS CHEATING

d.       You ask your dad to read over a paper you wrote for class and he tells you that your closing paragraph is unclear so you re-write it and turn it in. THAT IS NOT CHEATING

e.       You get some general information about a paper you are writing from Wikipedia but you cite it as a reference.   THAT IS NOT CHEATING

f.        Answers for the last 5 will be provided tomorrow.

 

7.       Joseph Kony is Ugandan warlord who kidnaps children and uses them as child soldiers and slaves for his militia, the LRA. Joseph Kony has over 30,000 children and is held for more crimes than any other criminal anywhere. This has been going on for more than 26 years and nothing has changed. He is the most wanted criminal in the world and is wanted in the international criminal courts.  Let’s make him famous by spreading the word about the horrible things he has gotten away with for all these years. Let’s put a spotlight on him, remove his power, and shut him and his followers down. On April 20th there will be a world wide movement to expose him and his activities, but let’s expose him now by spreading the word, talking about him, and wearing red. Together we can make Joseph Kony famous. 2012 is the year this will all end, and finally there will be JUSTICE. Together we can stop this, we can stop Joseph Kony.  Let’s make Kony a known name!
