Academic Integrity
Test Questions
Some websites provide access to test questions that an instructor is likely to use on an exam or has used in the past. Using these sites is a clear violation of any college’s academic honesty policy for the following reasons:
- Students who access such sites are getting help on the test without their instructor’s knowledge from a source the instructor has not approved.
- Students who share the questions from the exam are violating the academic honesty policy by helping others to cheat.
- The students who share the questions are violating the copyright for the questions, which belongs to either the instructor or the textbook company.
- The website is also violating copyright for sharing the questions, and it is not a legitimate study tool for this reason.
