Question

You and a friend decide to work together on an individual lab assignment. Because you are in two different sections of the same course, you print out two copies of the completed report, and each submit it as your own individual work. Is this a violation of academic integrity?

a. Yes
b. No

Answer 1

Answer: Short answer is YES.

Explanation: Don McCabe who is considered to be the grandfather of Academic Integrity popularised the term "academic integrity".

Academic integrity is said to be a written, formal, and consistent set of rules prescribing RIGHTEOUS behavior, accepted by a person or by a group of people.

Some righteous behaviour expected in academia includes; avoidance of cheating or plagiarism; maintenance of academic standards; honesty etc.

Now in the Question above, what occurred there can be said to be PLAGIARISM and CHEATING. Plagiarism is defined as an act of copying and presenting the text or work of another and presenting it as one's own. The work was supposed to be an individual work, but since it was done by more than one person, it should have been stated, to avoid labelling as plagiarism and also by doing the work with another individual, that is cheating. Now, these violates academic integrity.
