Here is an original passage: "Students frequently overuse direct quotation in taking notes, and as a result they overuse quotations in the final [research] paper. Probably only about 10% of your final manuscript should appear as directly quoted matter. Therefore, you should strive to limit the amount of exact transcribing of source materials while taking notes. Lester, James D. Writing Research Papers. 2nd ed., 1976, pp. 46-47. "


Paraphrase this passage utilizing the concepts learned from this week's unit.

* Partial credit possible * 

"In research papers, students often quote excessively, failing to keep quoted material down to a desirable level. Since the problem usually originates during note taking, it is essential to minimize the material recorded verbatim (Lester 46-47). "

A student-athlete, Chad, misses a class because of an approved competition trip. Before leaving, he messages a class group chat asking if anyone can "keep me updated on anything important I miss." After class, a classmate sends Chad detailed notes, along with photos of examples the professor worked through that are very similar to an upcoming graded assignment. Chad uses those examples to complete his work. Later, another student argues that Chad received an unfair advantage because students who did not attend class were supposed to learn the material on their own through the posted slides. Chad responds that he only asked for notes and never requested answers or assignment help.

What would the major question be in this case to the Honor Council?

The major question in this case would be: 

  • Did Chad receive normal academic support from a classmate, or an unfair advantage?
  • The key question is whether the materials he received went beyond ordinary note-sharing and provided unauthorized assistance on a graded assignment.
