What is Code Implementation Strength

Honors codes have been shown to have a positive impact on the integrity of students and have been adopted by numerous colleges and universities. Students are informed of the code and asked to sign it. Instructors have academic dishonesty policies on their syllabi. However, the honor code should be further emphasized and lesson can be learned from research on ethics codes. These lessons can serve as practical strategies and suggestions for future research on university honor codes. Training students to be professionals and preparing them to act ethically in the workplace should be our top priority. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss these implications.
