To me, academic honesty means that a student can be loyal and honest to their teachers and professors and have a relationship with them that is trustworthy. To have academic honesty a student needs to know their academic capability and needs to be able to do their own work without too much help or cheating (stealing papers, sparknotes, etc.). If academic honesty exists between students and teachers, the teachers know when they are about to read the paper that the work is done 100% by the students and they didn’t cheat to do it. Academic honesty is also bad because it misleads the teachers and it doesn’t show them the true capabilities of what you can do.
