Okay, it's that time of year again...
I have a paper sitting in front of me from a student that looks like it
might have been written for another course the student is currently taken.
This student also "changed" their topic for their final project at the last
minute, which is a bit strange given the requirements...most of which
weren't met, but that's another story. I know we have had discussions in
the past about the issue of "double-dipping" by students, and I think I
have a case of it in front of me now.
On the one hand, I feel like the poor grade is punishment enough for this.
(There is a strong chance that the student won't be passing my class
anyway.) But on the other hand, I don't approve of the practice and feel
that the other professor has a "right" to know if one of his students is
engaging in this practice. And there, my friends, is the dilemna...
Given my suspicion, should I approach the professor of the other course
(whose office is almost directly across the hall from mine) to pursue this
matter?
Comments? Advice?
Still trying to get use to this side of the desk...
