<p>The Davidson community abides by an honor code that governs academic as well as personal life. Please refer to the Honor Code literature at <a href="http://www3.davidson.edu/cms/Documents/AdmissionFinancial%20Aid/Honor.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://www3.davidson.edu/cms/Documents/AdmissionFinancial%20Aid/Honor.pdf</a>.
As a prospective member of our community, discuss the benefits and drawbacks of the Davidson Honor Code and your role in it.
Every student shall be honor bound to refrain from cheating (including plagiarism). Every student shall be honor bound to refrain from stealing. Every student shall be honor bound to refrain from lying about college business. Every student shall be honor bound to report immediately all violations of the Honor Code of which the student has first-hand knowledge; failure to do so shall be a violation of the Honor Code. Every student found guilty of a violation shall ordinarily be dismissed from the College. Every member of the college community is expected to be familiar with the operation of the Honor Code.</p>

In my definition, Davidson honor code is based on trust, honor, and honesty.
The Davidson College community benefits both professors and students by assigning take-home test. Final exams are scheduled by each individual when he/she is ready. It is much easier if professors give a take home test for students without having to worry about students honesty. This world will also be a much better place if the Davidson Honor Code is carried forward into society. Davidson College uses the honor code to maintain an environment that cultivates students with leadership characteristics with a high standard. Davidson College offers a vast number of scholarships to reward students who hard work with honesty. For fairness and honesty, students should use the honor code as role model for their behavior. Lying is not a trait to be valued students; Cheating is not the way to enrich our knowledge; stealing is not the way to live life. Davidson College encourages students on being honest, building trust with the community, learning and improving for students own benefit. Davidson Honor code helps shape students to be honest for the moral ethic and also create a secure environment for everyone. </p>
<p>Greed is always makes a temptation. The only drawback of the honor code is that some students might want more rewards or better grades without studying hard. They might cheat and break the code without anyone knowing.
To make the honor code work, each individual needs to commit to the honor code. Davidson College is an ideal learning environment. In order to keep the honor code, the maintenance plays the key role. To me, as a prospective student, I will follow the honor code and take it seriously. I will also defend the honor code and never tolerate any violations. I believe in emphasizing the importance of the honor code and never tolerating any dishonesty; it will foster a mature, responsible community and form a great climate at school that will encourage creativity and reward learning.
Knowing students at Davidson are bound with honor; allows students to spend their time learning, pursuing their dreams, and enjoying every moments at Davidson.</p>
