There are websites that facilitate academic dishonesty and provide multiple ways for students to engage in unethical academic behavior. Conversely, there are tools that help students to properly complete work in a manner that is aligned with academic integrity. Additionally, there is an arsenal of tools that assist professors and organizations to verify the authenticity, validity, and academic rigor utilized in a paper. When a violation occurs, pejorative repercussions can occur. 

In your paper,

• Identify at least two repercussions for violations. 
• Describe how repercussions of academic dishonesty can affect one’s professional career. 
• Explain how a student can prevent academic dishonesty, thus preventing negative effects on one’s academic journey and professional career.
