Scenarios • Your friend asks to copy your work. • Your friend asks to look at your exam while you are taking them. • You look at the paper next to you and copy answers. • You use Google translate. • You cheat on one test because you stayed up late studying for another test (for a subject in which you have more interest). • You discuss test material with classmates from other periods in between classes. • You plagiarize an essay for English class because you don’t believe your teacher reads your essays anyway. • You say you turned something in when you know you didn’t because you know your teacher will believe you, because generally speaking, you’re not a bad kid. You just didn’t have time to do that assignment. • You found your siblings old exams and you use them to study.
