Academic DishonestyYour 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. Scenario:
Tommy
Okay class, today please complete 10 questions by yourself for me to see where you are in ILA.
Nooooo, really!!?!
Oh no I don't like doing these!
Chuckie
Hey Chuckie, let's make a deal. You do five questions, I do five questions, then we will exchange answers before Ms. Smith is back.
Class, I'm going to go to the restroom quickly, please stay quiet and do this independently.
Deal.
Tommy and Chuckie each work on 5 questions before Ms. Smith comes back.
Okay Chuckie, here's what I got for the first five questions; A, C, B, A C, C. What did you get for the rest.
Okay, I'm going to write it down really quickly. But for mine, I got C, A, B, F, A for the rest.
Tommy and Chuckie exchange answers and get away with cheating before Ms. Smith came back.
1. Would you consider this cheating? Why or why not?I would consider this cheating because they are exchanging answer and doing the work halfway._____________________________________________________________2. Who is cheating in your scenario? Both Tommy and Chuckie_____________________________________________________________3. How did they chat? Explain. They cheated by working together on something that their teacher said was to be independent. And they exchanged answers with each other._____________________________________________________________4. How would you handle this situation if you were placed in this situation?If I saw them working together/cheating, I would ask them to stop and then if they wouldn't, I would tell the ILA teacher.
