Enhancing academic integrity: formulating effective honor codes.
Academic integrity continues to be of concern in higher education as the data from undergraduate schools shows an increasing prevalence of cheating behaviors and changing values of students who are entering dental education. The use of honor codes has been reported to positively influence the attitudes and behaviors of students. This paper discusses the elements of an effective and valid honor code and its possible role in enhancing the dental school environment.
