a. Sean was working with a group of three other students on a financial statement analysis project for his introductory financial accounting course. He told the other group members that he would do the entire project with minimal input from them to ensure the whole group got a good grade.

b. Lydia downloaded a solution to a graded homework problem in her AIS course from the Internet. She reasoned that doing so was ethical since it would give her a better grade when she presented the problem in class.  

c. Nicole’s friend offered to share her intermediate accounting term paper with her; the paper had received an A when Nicole’s friend took the course. Nicole refused her friend’s offer, saying that cheating in any form is unethical.  

d. Ruben felt that using his class notes for a closed-book exam contradicted the values he had grown up with, so he decided not to do so.
