Classroom Predicament Case Study
The Classroom Predicament Case Study
In my opinion, the characters in the Classroom Predicament Case Study should be ranked in the following order regarding their responsibility in Adrian’s failing grade.
1. Adrian
2. Violet
3. Louise
4. Professor Johnston
5. Dean Richards
6. Rob
Adrian should be held most responsible for the failing grade that she received. Ultimately, it was Adrian’s choice and decision to use work that was not created by herself. It is clear that Adrian thought through this process and made the decision to use a paper written by someone other than herself. Violet is next in the ranking for most responsible for the failing grade. Violet’s role in this situation included the emailing and sharing of the prewritten paper. She was the individual who gave the idea of using or purchasing a paper written by someone other than Adrian. Louise is next in the ranking. Louise provided the prewritten paper to Violet which is what Adrian used and received the failing grade. If she hadn’t provided this paper to Violet, which was forwarded to Adrian, it’s possible that Adrian would not have used a prewritten paper. Professor Johnston ranks number four. The professor posted his late policy prior to this occurrence. He made it clear to Adrian that he was unable to make any exceptions regarding his late policy when she asked for an extension. This made Adrian aware of the consequences if she were to submit a late assignment. Dean Richards is next in the ranking. He played an even smaller role in the failing grade. His role includes promoting and enforcing the Academic Integrity Policy. Although Professor Johnston escalated the situation to the Dean, the Dean ultimately determined that the paper was purchased and confirmed that Adrian violated the University’s Academic Integrity Policy. Rob, Adrian’s boss, ranks last in having any responsibility for her failing grade. Rob made a business decision to minimize workforce and increase her

    Dean Brown had the final say on whether or not Jenny’s paper violated school policy and chose to punish her. Professor Poe is the least culpable person on this list and ranked at number six. He tried to do everything he could without violating his own ethics, in the end he passed the paper on, hoping to be allowed even more room in which to work with Jenny. I feel he would have done anything he could have to help…

    In becoming a part of the academic community, students are responsible for honesty and independent effort. Failure to uphold these standards includes, but is not limited to, the following: plagiarizing written work or projects, cheating on exams or assignments, collusion on an exam or project, and misrepresentation of credentials or prerequisites when registering for a course. Cheating includes looking at or copying from another student's exam, orally communicating or receiving answers during an exam, having another person take an exam or complete a project or assignment, using unauthorized notes, texts, or other materials for an exam, and obtaining or distributing an unauthorized copy of an exam or any part of an exam. Plagiarism means passing off as his/her own the ideas or writings of another (that is, without giving proper credit by documenting sources). Plagiarism includes submitting a paper, report, or project that someone else has prepared, in whole or in part. Collusion is inappropriately collaborating on assignments designed to be completed independently. These definitions are not exhaustive. When there is clear evidence of cheating, plagiarism, collusion, or misrepresentation, disciplinary action may include but is not limited to requiring you to retake or resubmit an exam or assignment, assigning a grade of zero or "F" for an exam or assignment; or assigning a…

    The Victimization Theory that would best explain why Jennifer Hawke-Petit, Hayley Petit, and Michaela Petit were chosen as victims by Joshua Komisarjevsky and Steven Hayes is the Theory of Passive Precipitation. This theory states that a victim may be unknowingly exhibiting characteristics that would provoke an attack from a criminal. In this particular case, Jennifer Hawke-Petit and her daughter, Michaela Petit, were out on a routine grocery run when they drew the attention of Joshua Komisarjevsky. He proceeded to follow the pair home and conspire with his fellow career criminal Steven Hayes to later break into their homes and commit the atrocities…

    Coach Foyer Case Summary

    The first approach would be the Utilitarian approach. This approach asks, “will this produce the best outcomes for everyone who is affected?” in other words, the ends justify the means (Santa Clara University, 2014). Professor Burstein in this case, would leave things alone because he knows that by reporting David, a lot of trouble would be caused to not only David but the whole team. He knows that he would cause more harm than good to those affected. The utilitarian approach also states that everyone’s well-being be taken into account when considering the consequences (Strike, 2009). Using this approach allows the consequences and outcomes determine what is right and what is wrong. The second approach would be the Rights approach. This approach would ask, “are we respecting human rights?” (Santa Clara University, 2014). The first step in this approach would be to identify the right being violated. Another question to ask would be, “does it conflict with other rights or with the rights of others?” (Santa Clara University, 2014). In this case, it would be wrong for Professor Burnstein to automatically assume and punish David for supposedly changing his own grade without proof. The third approach would be the Fairness approach. This approach asks, “is this a fair distribution of benefits and burdens?” (Santa Clara University, 2014). It states that everyone is equal and deserves an equal share since we are all worth the same. In this case, Professor Burnstein would change David’s grade back to his original grade and most likely report him. He would do this because he knows it’s not fair for David or his classmates to not get the grade he deserved even if he is the star football player. Everyone is responsible for their own efforts put into their tests and there should be no exceptions in order to be fair to the class. The fourth approach is the common good approach. The question to be…

    In the story, Philip Malloy is to blame because he did not apologize to Miss Narwin because he was too prideful and set on getting out of her class. Philip was sent to the office and the vice principal said that if Philip apologized then he would not have to suspend him but Philip was too prideful. If Philip would have apologized and talked about an agreement, he would not have been suspended. The other reason Philip is to blame is because he lied about what happened and he even lied to a reporter. Philip came home and lied to his parents and a reporter so then everyone thought that he was a hero but his friends knew the truth and did not like him for it. Philip should have told the truth because even though he was thought to be a hero, his friends knew he was not and he lost a lot.…

    When Wilkerson was debating whether to file a complaint against Agua, she had to determine if he was doing anything to break the rules. If Agua was doing something sneaky or immoral to get out of teaching, then Wilkerson would have reported him. Wilkerson’s character has a high level of integrity, from the case study we can see that she has “honesty, openness, commitment, and trust,” which are some qualities for a person of high integrity (Eisenberg, Goodall & Trethewey, 2014). “Integrity is mentioned as a key element in most leadership[s]” (Palanski, Cullen, Gentry & Nichols, 2015). Wilkerson is a leader in her classroom, and this is partly because of the integrity she has. When Wilkerson did not report Agua she is still acting with integrity because she did not falsely accuse Agua with sex discrimination or demand that the school raise her salary to match his. She accepted that the extra work he does for the school earns him the $1000…

    A.I observed the following things in the classroom. There is a rolling cart with a TV on it, in front of the classroom. There is an overhead projector sitting to the left of the teacher and a filing cabinet. There is a teacher’s podium to the right of a wipe off board that the students can see. There is another wipe off board on the right side of the classroom. There is a sorter on the teacher’s desk to help keep the students organized. The students desk are facing the front and to the side in the classroom. The desks are placed back from the front allowing room for moving around.

    I believe that out of all of them that Jenny is the one that is most responcible because she can take control of her actions and not cheat, she knew she had an assignment done and she should have made the time and take the effort to do it. She should have explained to her boss that she was going through this program and she would not be able to change her program right now, so until then he would have to work with her and help her figure out a time schedule that makes it easier for her to work and do her school assignments. Most bosses understand and will help you if you ask for it, if anything he could have let her off a half an…
