My scenarioScenario: Your ILA teacher assigns your class 10 questions to answer individually before class tomorrow. Tommy and Chuckie decided to each do 5 questions and then swap answers that evening after they finish.
Now class you have to finish these 10 questions by yourself before class tomorrow.
The teacher assigns a test for everyone that determines a big part of their grades.
I have to finish these questions before tomorrow's class or else I'll get a bad grade! I am glad I studied on these topics it really helps.
Farheen studied a lot and gets help from the teacher. She thinks that she will get a really good grade. After finishing each question, Farheen decides to go to the library.
Farheen is mad that she finds her classmates swapping answer, and she worked so hard but her classmates didn't and will probably get a better score.
Are those Jake and Max giving each other the answers? I worked so hard and studied a lot to try and get a good grade. But they are cheating and probably are going to get a better one!!
I am so glad that we did this. It is so much easier than doing 10 questions, and we are probably going to get 100.
Who is cheating in your scenario In my scenario Jake and Max are cheating.
Would you consider this is cheating? Why or why not? Yes I would because they were supposed to complete the questions on their own and not swap answers with each other.
How did they cheat? Explain. They did 5 questions each of a test and then swapped answers when they were supposed to work independently.
How would you handle this situation if you were placed in this situation? I would quietly tell the teacher about the situation and also tell them that what they were doing isn't ok.
