Integrity in University

During an exam, you realise that the student next to you is copying your multiple choice responses. Do you:



Move across so they can get a better view?


Just ignore them – you might not be right anyway!


Put your hand up and tell the invigilator?


Move to obscure the view?

You’ve got a take home test. To answer the questions, you can look up a range of specified resources and you can email your tutor. A student you barely know from class keeps ringing you and asking about answers. He has rung, texted, emailed and messaged you on Facebook. Do you:



Tell him one answer to make him go away.


Advise the tutor – you are probably not the only person he is pestering.


Ignore him.


Answer him – not with responses to the questions – but to tell him that you can't answer any questions as this would make you guilty of collusion. You could both fail the test and be disciplined. Make sure that you put this in an email!
