Listing another student on a group assignment when the student did not contribute in any manner toward completion of the assignment. Is an example of plagiarism, collusion, academic honesty falsification, intellectual property dishonesty, or cheating?

Answer 1

Listing another student on a group assignment when the student did not contribute in any manner is an example of cheating. This action misrepresents the contributions of group members and violates the principles of academic integrity. It can also fall under collusion if the student is aware and has agreed to be included without having contributed. However, the primary characterization would be cheating, as it involves dishonesty in claiming credit for work not performed.
