Academic Dishonesty Scenario: Your ILA teacher assigns your class 10 questions to answer individually before class tomorrow. Tommy and Chuckie decided to each do 5 questions and then swap answers that evening after they finish.
I am going to spend a lot of time understanding and doing my best in this homework!
That's so unfair! I did the homework by actually spending time But they do it together and get credit as if they did it individually!
Hey! How about we each do 1/2 of our homework, then exchange the answers?!
Even though they did only 1/2 the work, they get better grades than me because they had both their work to check and combined together. It's not fair!
1. Would you consider this cheating? Why or why not? I would consider this as cheating because the teacher said to answer the questions individually.2. Who is cheating in the scenario?Both of them are cheating.
3. How are they cheating?The are doing the work together and not individually as the teacher had said.4. How would you handle this situation if you are placed in it? I would report it to a teacher by call/email.
