Version A or Version B: A sophomore was referred to Student Judicial Affairs (SJA) for copying during an exam. The student was unaware of the fact that there were two versions of the exam and copied three answers from a classmate who had the other version. The teaching assistant for the class noticed the mismatch of answers and reported the incident to SJA. The student admitted to cheating and stated that she didn’t have enough time to complete the exam. She also acknowledged that she was hoping to gain a few extra points because she was on Academic Probation at the time and was afraid of failing the exam. Since this was the student’s first referral to Student Judicial Affairs, she agreed to Disciplinary Probation for a year and 10 hours of community service.

False move A student was recently referred to Student Judicial Affairs for providing false information to a professor in an upper-division economics course. The sophomore told his professor that he had not submitted any work for the course and asked to be given a “No Work Submitted” grade for the class. The professor told the student that as long as he had not submitted any work, the NWS grade would be given. The professor then received an e-mail from a teaching assistant stating that the student had frantically e-mailed the TA and asked him to throw away a homework assignment that was submitted earlier in the quarter. The student admitted to providing false information during his informal meeting with an SJA officer and agreed to probation until winter 2011 and 15 hours of community service. Although this student was in an upper-division course and lied to a professor, his forthrightness and lack of prior offenses were taken into account when a sanction was decided upon.
