Answer:

In the case proposed by the paragraph, knowing that Jim cheated in the exam, I would call him for a pleasantly informal talk, next would introduce the issue about the traps, the bad actions that they are and the consequences that have a person when do this, I wouldn't mention his particular case but would expect him to be considered and change his actions in subsequent examinations.

- Pros:

  • Jim won't feel attacked by his action.
  • Jim will think about his acting and the conversation is possible that he change his acts in the future.

- Cons:

  • Jim couldn't understand the message because this is too subtle.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a person take a decission about other, how an student or another, must have a lot of tact because the person, more if suddenly a child, could suffer instead of getting a positive message.
