A moral responsibility to report the cheating student.No responsibility because she did not violate the code.

in violation of the Code because she quoted too much material not in violation of the Code because she cited all her sources. not in violation of the Code because she cited all her sources, but is demonstrating poor academic performance by not making enough time for the assignment and not making the majority of the paper her own original work.

Many sites had exactly the information he needed, so he reworked the information and put it into his exam. He did not cite the web pages because there were not clear authors and he changed up the wording. Eknath is:

in violation of the Code because he misrepresented others' work as his own not in violation of the Code because there was no need to cite this information because he did not take it word-for-wordnot in violation of the Code because most of the web pages did not have clear authors, so he didn't have anyone to credit with the information
