Why do you think that most people use unethical
practices to cheat academically?
The students in the video were most likely using it for
an easy way out. They also used it because they were being lazy and didn’t take
the time to do their own work.
Which one of the four offenses committed you think
should have been let off with a warning rather than expelled? Why?
I think Sandra, the girl that let Mohammad copy some of
her writing and use it in his essay, should have been giving a warning instead
of being expelled. She probably realizes that he was going to copy word for
word of a lot of the sentences she was writing. Even though she let him copy
some, but maybe thought he would have changed around the words or not copied as
much as he did.
What kinds of problems will follow the students with
this on their record?
The
students would have their futures “crushed” if this ended up on their record.
If another university saw that they had been expelled from the last university
because they had plagiarized, then they would most likely not get into that
university, or any other. Also it would be hard for them to get good jobs if
they saw this on their record too.
Search the unethical academic practices or plagiarism
at the school you want to attend and see what the offense for these practices
are.
At Nebraska University, in their student code of conduct,
the penalty for something of fraud and misrepresentation (unethical practices) would mean the revoking
of their admission or degree.
