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?
