 Quiz Question #18

Value: 1
Connie was accused of receiving assistance on a take-home test from an unsuspecting tutor in the Academic Support Center.  Connie had made a copy of the test without the header at the top which read "Take-Home Test – You may not receive help on this test."  When a second student brought in the same take-home test with the header at the top, the tutor reported the incident to his supervisor.  Because the Academic Support Center staff and Connie could not reach an agreement about the consequences of Connie's actions, a Student Judiciary Committee Hearing was held.  Before the hearing, Connie asked her friend, Gertrude, to state that the instructor gave different instructions verbally.  To help her friend, Gertrude told the committee that the instructor said to disregard what the take-home test said at the top.  In fact, they could get help on the work.
