Exam Questions: All questions are of equal value: 10 points each. Keep your answers short; a correct answer surrounded by incorrect answers is incorrect. All work must be done electronically. Do not print the exam, write out the answers, scan it and then send it in. I don’t know why anyone would do this but it’s happened to me twice.
Put your answers immediately following the question on a new row; use the space you need for an adequate short answer.
Example:
Q) Why did the fox jump over the dog?
A) The fox did not like the dog.
Exam:
1) A student downloads 75% of their term paper from the Internet. The professor thinks something is up because the paper is of the quality that students could not usually produce. The professor has the TA run the paper through one of the plagiarism software packages that checks the paper against 24 billion web pages. The check clearly shows the material was “borrowed” from a journal article.
What Canon of Ethics and Principle were violated? (Canon X Principle Y: Just give the numbers you don’t need text)
A) Fundamental Principles: 2, 3
Fundamental Canons: 3, 4, 5, 6
What should happen to the student who is in the last quarter before graduation with $60,000 in loans and no job prospects?
A) The student should be subject to the punishment put in place by the university in regards to plagiarism. He should not get a reduced penalty just because it is his last quarter because he still made the decision to break the rule.
