Brainly’s Honor Code
For your own learning’s sake, make sure you:
Create your own work
Students should use Brainly to improve their own work. It’s never okay to pass someone else’s words, thoughts, or ideas as off as your own. This includes copying content from other users, websites, or sources and pretending it is their own original work.
Give others credit if you reference their work
Always use quotation marks (“) and give credit by name if you include someone else’s work in your own. You cannot have other users write full essays on your behalf or copy Brainly content without proper attribution, context, or agreement.
Keep from posting tests, quizzes, and assessments
Students are never allowed to post questions directly from tests, quizzes, and assessments, or copy answers found on Brainly during tests, quizzes, and assessments.
Get permission to share content from classroom materials
Only post content from textbooks or course materials if you have explicit permission from the teacher in question.
