<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">misconduct. I’m pretty sure most of you are aware of this.<br>
<br>
What about two students who've already taken the quiz discussing<br>
the problems on the quiz. If you speak to each other about the quiz<br>
afterwards that may not necessarily be considered academic misconduct.<br>
However, a fellow student who hasn't taken the quiz could be nearby<br>
and overhear your conversation. That gives them some idea of what may<br>
be on the quiz or the kinds of questions asked. That could very well help<br>
them do better. I know this isn’t very likely this semester with most things<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">being on-line and people not sitting in lecture halls.<br>
<br>
In either case, you are just "shooting yourself in the foot" since this class<br>
is graded on a curve. If you help someone else do better that will make<br>
the curve higher and could cause you to get a lower grade. You don't<br>
even have a leg to stand on when you come and complain because they<br>
got a higher grade because you gave them information about it. Furthermore,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">telling someone about the quiz is academic misconduct, which you then<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">have admitted to.
<br>
<br>
This applies to exams as well since there could be people taking the<br>
exams at alternate times the day of the exam or even other days due<br>
to university conflicts with the regular exam time. <br>
