Question #13 My opinion on texting, chatting and instant messaging is: They should not be allowed in class They should be discouraged in class They should be allowed in class as long as other students aren’t being distracted

Question #14 Generally speaking, I will: Read the textbook before coming to class Skim through the textbook very soon after class once the instructor has highlighted the important points Skim through the textbook and pick out important points only prior to quizzes and exams Only read the textbook if absolutely necessary

Question #15 When responding to an exam question or preparing an assignment, good presentation should: Result in a higher mark for the student Make no difference to the mark of the student Make no difference to the mark of the student but bad presentation should result in a lower mark

Question #16 My view on cheating on an exam by one of my classmates is … It doesn’t affect me so I don’t really care I don’t like it but eventually it will catch up with the cheater so I’m not going to worry about it I don’t like it. If someone is caught cheating they should be given a zero for that assignment or quiz. I don’t like it. If someone is caught cheating they should be given an “F” for the course I don’t like it. If someone is caught cheating they should be kicked out of the program

Question #17 I would not be accused of cheating in which of the following situations: Using a paragraph taken from an internet website as part of my term paper without providing referencing Working with a classmate on an assignment and then handing in a copy of a spreadsheet created by him/her rather than my own because it had nicer formatting Allowing a classmate to copy a portion of my exam paper Lending a classmate my assignment prior to handing it in so that he/she could verify that an answer is correct All of the above could result in me being accused of cheating
