Let's try some real life scenarios regarding cheating:
Okay, here are two high school students.
Student #1: Copy and pastes an article about dinosaurs and submits it to his teacher. Student receives a B+ for the assignment.
Student #2: Makes up the life of a famous musician, and then reports on the false information. He also creates "fake" references for the assignment. Student receives an A+.
So, which is worse?
What about the teacher?
Tell me your thoughts.
