I am helping run a contest that says in the rules the student must come up with his or her own ideas. The grand prize is a scholarship. She has taken our flyer and typed it as a question on yahoo answers. Beside banning all megans from the contest how do we let her know she is cheating?
Wait for all the answers to come in. Then the Megan that submits one of those answers is your cheater. Disqualified!
I know it seems wrong, but a student looks to bounce ideas off others, and get others input. They lack confidence in there own ideas. To be honest, if any of those answers helped her then she successfully used the resources available to her. Unless she copied exactly what someone told her, I don't think she was completely at fault. Im sure other students asked parents and grandparents for help, everyone cheats a little (sorry to say it). Its the time, effort and overall quality of the work that matters. Id lighten up a bit... if that's out of line then so be it..
