Integrity in University

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



Put your hand up and tell the invigilator?


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

Move to obscure the view?


Move across so they can get a better 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:



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!


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

Tell him one answer to make him go away.


Ignore him.
