What would you do if it were you?

Your instructor has asked all students to write a research paper on various topics related to Criminology. Aware that you have already completed a paper on one of the approved topics listed in the course outline, you decide to use a paper that you previously submitted in another Criminology course. This not only saves you time but you also remember that you received an exceptional grade on the paper. You decide to include a few additional paragraphs to the paper you previously wrote but fail to clarify with your instructor whether you are able to recycle your old assignment. You are confident that your sources are cited appropriately and similar to your previous course, you submit your assignment through Turnitin.com

The scenario was borrowed from https://www.utm.utoronto.ca/academic-integrity/other-scenarios-ie-forgery-impersonation-etc

to submit assignments for which a credit has been previously received unless approval is given by the instructor. The purpose of enrolling in a variety of courses is to learn more about a discipline through a range of perspectives. If you simply re-submit your old assignment, you are not “learning” rather taking the easy way out of engaging in your studies. It is likely that you will be approached by the instructor since your previous assignment will be detected through Turnitin.com.
Recommended strategy: 
Always ask your instructor for more clarification on whether you are able to use your previous assignment and to find out what is acceptable.
If you are truly interested in the topic selected, write the paper through a different perspective and approach the topic with new research questions to learn more about the subject matter.
Remember that work previously submitted through turnitin.com will continue to remain in the database.

would you do if it were you?

Abay and Maqsat are students who are good friends.  Abay is struggling in school and has an upcoming Calculus test that he is panicking about.  If he doesn’t do well on this test, he will surely fail the course. Abay begs Maqsat to write the Calculus test for him. After much coaxing, Maqsat finally agrees to help his friend and writes the test in Abay’s place. At the test, as the instructor is checking student ID’s, the instructor realizes that the student writing the test as Abay is not the same student that has been attending classes all semester. The instructor takes steps to confirm his suspicions and confirms that someone other than Abay is writing the test.

either in person or electronically, is a serious academic offence. Both the individual impersonated and the impersonator are subject to the punishment for violating Academic integrity.
Recommended strategy: 
Talk to your professor/instructor or your advisor if you are struggling with your academic work.
Familiarize yourself with the Exam policy and Academic integrity rules
