Understanding Academic Integrity

Scenario 8: Sharing Text/Exam Answers

TRANSCRIPT: You have an online exam today for one of your courses. You didn't study as much as you should have, and you haven't paid much attention to this course. A few hours before the test, you try once again to study, but nothing makes sense. You remember a classmate who always seemed to know the course content.

You recall that you exchange numbers with them, so you send them a message begging this classmate to share their test answers with you. They say they aren't comfortable sharing their answers with you, so you try to explain to them how stressed you are about failing.

They finally agreed to share their answers, as long as you don't tell anyone it was them if you're caught. Your classmate emails you their test answers, and you thank them and complete your test with their answers.
