<p>La Contra</p>
<p>Okay, I think I sort of agree with what you are saying in both these posts above.
I’m not sure that you would agree with my understanding of your example however.</p>
<p>First, I’m assuming in your example that if the student submitted the exact same papers for both questions they would be punished with substandard grades in both, even if they were not caught, merely because no single paper could adequately satisfy both questions? </p>
<p>If that is true, then is what you are saying that you consider it permissible to merely reword 60-70% of an overlapping assignment to avoid detection, and then basically do the extra 30-40% of work? So basically you are receiving the majority of your grade for the extra 30-40%? Well, I think that I would expect a student to do that too. </p>
<p>As far as the second post, I agree. What I don’t agree with is that any person who doesn’t instinctively know this is either stupid or just fooling themselves (not saying this is your opinion, I don’t know). </p>
<p>I personally would probably just assume this is not something one should do. But I do see a need to spell it out specifically (similar to chnews). And I don’t think we’re alone in this thought.</p>
