The United States has always been known for its strict standards of academic integrity. In Canada, where there are many overseas students in China, academic integrity is also highly valued, and the punishment method is also very severe. Some students take China for granted? Small means? When I first moved to Canada, I thought of copying each other's homework at ordinary times, choosing a paragraph from the Internet when writing a thesis, and secretly taking a look at it during the exam. Often these little moves that I thought were no big deal eventually brought irreversible and serious consequences. According to an investigation report published in the Canadian Journal of Higher Education and written by Julia Christensen Hughes and Donald McCabe (hereinafter referred to as Julia Report), Canadian undergraduates identify themselves as five common academic cheating behaviors: cooperating with others to finish homework that needs to be done independently (45%); Get answers from those who have finished the exam (38%); Using other people's literature without declaration (37%); Undeclared use of online literature (35%); False experimental data (25%).

Julia's report points out that cheating is not only a serious problem for undergraduates, but also a common problem for graduate students. But many students think that the harm of academic dishonesty is much less than that of criminal cases in real life, so they don't think so.

Most of the reasons for the above problems are because in our study and life, the focus is on passing various exams and getting good grades. In addition, the number of students is too large, and teachers can't standardize the learning behavior habits of each student. So there are many kinds of cheating tricks for international students.

In the University of Toronto, there is a special academic court to decide students' academic violations, so as to better safeguard the reputation of the school. The following contents are quoted from the Notice on Handling Students' Violations issued by the Academic Special Court of the University of Toronto in the autumn of 20 10. I hope foreign students can take it as a warning:

◆ A student forged five documents in five courses. The court held that he forged documents many times, and the circumstances were serious. Even though the school contacted him many times, he still ignored it and did not attend the trial. Punishment: expulsion from school, the results of five courses are invalid, and the school reserves the right to publish its name.

◆ A student forged his undergraduate diploma and transcripts, as well as forged admission notices from other universities, and finally pleaded guilty and was expelled.

◆ A teaching assistant used his position to revise his brother's grades three times. Because of his good performance and good character in the past, he was not expelled, suspended from school for five years and recorded in the student file for five years.

◆ A student made 56 illegal and unauthorized changes in the previous report card, and provided false information in the recommendation letter to help him apply for admission with other false certificates. The school believes that its behavior is very bad and serious, and there are many private changes. It is a premeditated fraud, which desecrates the professor's trust and causes serious injustice to other students. Although the student pleaded guilty, he did not think that he was very harmful and was eventually expelled from school.

◆ A student issued a fake degree certificate when recruiting and was expelled from the school. According to the school, most of the students who were expelled used the degree certificates they didn't get to find jobs and changed the scores and courses of their transcripts privately.

◆ A student repeatedly submitted a fake doctor's certificate that he was suspended from school for 5 years, with a student status record of 7 years and zero points for 7 courses.

◆ A student tried to defraud the Royal Bank loan by using a fake law university admission notice document, and there were also two plagiarism crimes. The school believes that its nature is very serious, and it is very likely that it will violate the criminal law and be expelled.

◆ A student hid the cheat sheet in a calculator, took a notebook with the cheat sheet to take the exam, and was eventually expelled.

After reading the situation of these students, have you ever thought about using these tricks? I hereby warn all foreign students: we must put an end to luck and abandon opportunistic thoughts from the heart. Learn about the code of conduct of Canadian schools, strictly abide by the school rules and regulations, and don't apply the past? Experience? Ruined his way to study abroad. If similar problems occur, you should also consult professional institutions to avoid more serious consequences caused by your blind operation.
