Question

Katie is taking an exam for her online course. Her instructor said it was an open book exam. She and some other students in the class decide to get online and message each other back and forth during the exam to help identify where in the book certain answers can be found. This is:

a) Acceptable collaboration
b) Resourceful teamwork
c) Cheating
d) Encouraged participation

Answer 1

Messaging each other during an open book exam to find answers is considered cheating.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is c) Cheating. Messaging each other during an exam to find answers in the book is considered cheating. Although the exam is open book, it does not mean that students can collaborate or message each other for answers. They are expected to complete the exam independently, using the book as a resource to find information.
