@albanygrad86Hi Phil,

It depends. If students have more than one opportunity to take the exam, I just reset it. If they only have one shot at it, they must send a technical service request. Maybe this is an opportunity where technical services can work with you.

@s101criderThe bottom line is that the student is learning. If we take away the motive to "cheat" it makes a win win situation. In other words, teach them how to paraphrase and use citations properly. Turnitin can help to an extent, then students must become responsible for proper citations. Face it, in the real world, if you want to know how to do something, we look it up on the internet. Let's teach students how to legally do that and still maintain a level of profesionalism.@s101crider
