TIPSters, do you know of an online tutorial about collusion? I can find plenty of info and tutorials about plagiarism but not about improper collaboration.
I have two students who worked together on a research project for Intro Psych in which they were to develop the design and collect data together but then write papers independently. Student A waited until the last minute, panicked, and asked Student B for help. Despite being exasperated with Student A, Student B apparently helped a lot, including printing out part of her intro section for A to see. Student B then left the room, leaving her computer on and a draft of her paper on the floor. Student A picked up the draft and read it and plagiarized over half of it. Student B found out and came to me. I told her to confront Student A and tell her that it would be best if she came to me and confessed before I graded the papers. She did so. Student A gets a 0 on the paper. Because Student B actually did the work, I don't want to penalize her through grades. I would rather send her to a version of "driving school" instead, such as an online tutorial on collusion. But I can't find one. Can you help?
