One of my favorite professors nailed me for an honor code violation because I let another student look at a segment of an instructional design report I had written so he could get a better idea of what the requirements were. The class was fairly collaborative in nature, and this was not the first time her students had reviewed each other's work. The problem was that the other student lifted sentences directly from my paper, and she initially gave us both an F on the assignment.

I was not happy about that at all. After the three of us met in her office, she deducted points from the other student's paper and restored my grade, but I lost a lot of respect her her.

Play along.

They are concerned you looked at another test and then made your correction. Admit nothing but cooperate and take online thingy.

One of my biggest fears when working on group or collaborative projects. I've met too many lazy assholes who will just straight up steal or plagiarize info. You really can't trust anyone when it comes to this stuff. The last thing I want is to put my name on anything and find out the hard way a group member plagiarized others work. I'm actually working on a project now that another member of the group and I have decided to work on separately from our group. We don't trust where they are getting info and question how seriously they are actually taking the project.
