Some examples would be the act of giving other students the answers to a test or looking up the answers online to a test for yourself. The student violation submitting work that is not their own is prohibited.

Also, students can rely on their professors' answers to get the help they need rather than rely on information from the internet or their classmates. These actions go for both individual and group activities. When working in a group, all students should participate and have their part rather than one student doing all the work and everyone else taking credit....
