Ursinus Honor Code

Ursinus College does not need an honor code for a variety of reasons. Although it sounds like a great idea, it just wouldn't work. When teachers would go out of the room for a second in high school the students would all start to share answers until the teacher came back into the room. Also in college, the students should be trying to learn and understand what they want to do in life and not just try and get the grades for getting grades. If you cheat in college and go into the professional world and try and do a job you don't really know how to do, then you will be fired and in some professions sued. I think that there will be students that would take the honor code to heart and there would also be students that don't care and it would make it easier for them to cheat. I think that society has put such an importance of just finding any possible way to get the grades that they have taken away from just learning the material. If there was not so much importance on grades, which is understandable because that shows you are doing good in school, and learning I think there would be no problem with the honor code working and being useful.
