Question 4

0.2 / 0.2 pts

Ashley is taking five classes this semester and both her English and Women’s Studies classes require research papers. She chose to write on women’s body image and the media for English. She used many different sources for her paper, incorporating web sources and journal articles she found through the ASU Libraries web site. She even used RefWorks to create her bibliography and cite all her sources correctly. Now her women’s studies paper is due and the one she wrote for English actually meets the criteria for the paper: appropriate topic, correct length, and correct use of sources. She decides to “work smart not hard” and turn in the same paper.

Is Ashley being academically honest when she turns in the same paper for both classes?

Yes – it’s OK because she wrote the original paper

No – it’s only OK if she has permission from the instructor

 

Question 5

0.2 / 0.2 pts

Jim and Mike are enrolled in several classes together, including one on constitutional history of the U.S. At the end of the semester, the instructor gives them a list of take home exam questions telling them they can work together to locate sources but each person has to write their own essay answers.

To save time Jim and Mike divide the questions so each only has to research half and share the information and sources, but write their own essay responses.

Are Mike and Jim being academically honest or dishonest by dividing the work between them as long as they still write their own essay answers?

Academically honest because they wrote their own essay answers

Academically dishonest because they shared the research

Mitchell is a sophomore engineering student. This semester he isn’t doing well in a required course on Macroeconomics Principles and is worried about doing well on the final exam.

After a lot of pleading, Dan reluctantly agrees to use his phone to take pictures of the exam questions and email them to Mitchell.

After he finishes his final, Dan meets Mitchell and helps him study for the test. Who faces consequences if Mitchell is caught?

Only Mitchell, since he is the one asking Dan to give him information about the test

Both Dan and Mitchell, since both engaged in academic dishonesty

Only Dan, since he is the one that took the pictures of the test questions
