Question

Knowingly using, buying, selling, stealing, or soliciting, in whole or in part, the contents of a paper, another assignment, or test, whether it has been administered or not. Is an example of plagiarism, collusion, academic honesty falsification, intellectual property dishonesty, or cheating?

Answer 1

The actions described—knowingly using, buying, selling, stealing, or soliciting the contents of a paper, assignment, or test—are examples of **cheating**. Cheating involves any dishonest action taken to gain an unfair advantage in academic settings, such as obtaining or using materials that are not authorized or misrepresenting one's own work. While it may overlap with other concepts like plagiarism (representing someone else's work as one's own) and collusion (working with others in a dishonest way), the specific actions mentioned align most closely with cheating.
