ethical dilemmas
What should you do when someone comes to you and wants your answers for a quiz? Me, I don't give them. OUr quizes are open book/open note and they are done online, so there should be no cause to get the answers from someone else unless you are just plain being lazy. But Tuesday after class I had someone approach me and wanted my answers to a quiz because he did the wrong one. Well, that's not my fault. I didn't give him the answers, that to me isn't right to do. but he told me that it's something that he and another student do apparently quite often. They trade answers. I understand comparing answers, to see if what you think is right lines up with what someone else thinks is right. But giving someone the answers outright. That is cheating. There is no two ways about this. So I just sent my professor an email because that goes to student integrity and cheating can get you in some pretty big trouble. It's the end of the semester, I don't want to get anyone in trouble, but I need to clear my conscience too. I told him that the quiz was actually relatively easy and that it shouldn't take more than 20 minutes, but I know when I left he was going to someone else. He told me today that he did the quiz, but I don't know if he did it on his own merrits or if he had help. It's frustrating and I know I can't control anyone else's actions other than my own so I really shouldn't worry about it, but it is really bugging me badly!
