Yes, this situation could be considered a violation of the honor code. Typically, honor codes require that students complete their own work and demonstrate their understanding of the material without external assistance. While it's normal for students to seek help and guidance, having someone else assist in writing a response for an assessment may cross the line, as it can be seen as submitting work that is not entirely their own. It would be best for Seth to consult his Learning Coach for advice on how to approach the question or to clarify the concept of theme, rather than collaborating in a way that results in a written response.
Seth is taking a test for Language Arts and is stumped on an extended-response question about theme. He remembers going over this lesson with his Learning Coach, but he did not take notes. He asks his Learning Coach for help and his Learning Coach helps Seth write his response.
Is this a violation of the honor code?
