True or False. You are responsible for the work submitted on a group assignment if your name is on the paper, even if you yourself didn’t commit an honor code violation?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

In a group assignment, the policy of responsibility typically extends to anyone whose name appears on the submission. Even if you did not personally commit an honor code violation, your name on the paper generally indicates shared responsibility for the content and integrity of the submission, and you may be held accountable for any violations that occurred within the group. This reflects the principle of collective responsibility: all listed authors are expected to stand behind the work and ensure it meets academic honesty standards. It is possible that the instructor or institution may determine the extent of each member's involvement and could address issues individually if there is evidence of non-participation or misrepresentation, but simply being named on the paper often subjects you to scrutiny or penalties associated with the submission as a whole.

Common misconceptions to avoid:
- Believing you are completely exempt from consequences if you did not commit the violation yourself. This is typically not the case when your name is attached to the work, since the submission is presented as a collaborative product.
- Assuming only the person who wrote the violation is responsible. In practice, all authors may share responsibility, or the instructor may assign accountability based on the roles and contributions of each member.
- Thinking you can ignore group processes. Active communication with the instructor about your contributions and any concerns can help clarify responsibility and prevent unintended violations.

Practical takeaways to reduce risk:
- Ensure you understand and document each group member’s contributions.
- Review the final submission for accuracy, originality, and proper citations before submitting.
- If you are unaware of potential issues, raise concerns promptly with the instructor or group to address them before submission.

What will happen if I do ANYTHING that APPEARS to be an academic integrity violation during a Quiz/exam, including look at my phone, whisper to my friend, look at my friends laptop (pointless), look at my notes/papers/book/backpack?
