students talking to<br>
each other about what was on the quiz during the day of
the quiz.<br>
You shouldn't do that. If you tell someone what is on
the quiz<br>
you've already taken but before they have their quiz
that is considered<br>
academic misconduct.</big></font></big><font size="2"><big><big><font

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. Even though their quiz
may be<br>
different it gives them some idea of what may be on the
quiz or the<br>
kinds of questions asked. That could very well help them
do better.<br>
<br>
</big></font><font size="2"><big><big><font size="2"><big>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 and technically telling someone
about the quiz is<br>
academic misconduct. </big></font></big><br>
<br>
</big></font><font size="2"><big><big><font size="2"><big>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.
