15 May IF YES, AT WHAT POINT IN THE CASE DID ACADEMIC DISHONESTY OCCUR?
Chris and Meg are both in Civil Litigation class. Toward the middle of the term there is an assignment to create Interrogatories relevant to the case they’ve they have been studying all term. The assignment is due in a couple of days and, due to a family emergency, followed by being in bed all weekend with the flu, Chris hasn’t has not had a chance to work on his assignment and is very stressed out. Meg feels badly for Chris and, because she has finished her assignment, she offers to loan Chris a copy of her paper so that he can look it over to get a sense of how she structured her interrogatories, figuring that should help Chris not feel so overwhelmed and make the project manageable for him. Chris gratefully accepts the offer. Meg sends him her interrogatories in an e-mail attachment.
As Chris reads over Meg’s paper, he agrees with the basic ideas of her interrogatories, but there are a few things that he would word a bit differently. Chris reasons that since because he agrees with Meg’s concepts, it would make more sense to make a full copy of Meg’s assignment and go through it line by line, changing the sentences to sound like him. Occasionally he adds a couple of sentences to expand on a thought. He then creates a coversheet with only his name on it and turns it in.
As Prof. Griffin reads through the analysis, he is struck by the similarity between Chris and Meg’s papers, in fact when he compares them, he realizes that they are outlined identically, and, in parts, they are worded identically. and even where the wording varies, the concepts are the same.
