Not cheating, plagiarizing, so on and so forth.

not getting caught cheating.
convincing the teacher you’re trying your best.

All of the above, plus trying to actually learn the material… not just trying to determine what you have to say/do to get the desired grade, and then saying/doing those things. (You owe this to yourself… not the school.)

@jackm, cheating without getting caught isn’t integrity. No kind of cheating is integrity, caught or not.

Similarly, trying your best, yes. Convincing the teacher you are when you aren’t, no.
