re: How should I handle this academic integrity issue at LSU?

One of my biggest fears when working on group or collaborative projects. I've met too many lazy a-holes 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.

I didn't so much mind the violation. It was handled poorly on her part. This was not a freshman/sophomore level class with 300 students. This was a 4000 level course with only about 15 students. Every student in that class had taken the prerequisite course taught by the same instructor the previous semester.

She said she did that because she didn't know who cop ied who. She knew that I put a lot of effort into my work, and she knew that the person I worked with turned less work that was less than complete. If she wants to call us both in her office and we have a discussion that's fine, but she just wrote "Honor Code Violation" on the assign's grade slot on the class web site and went about her usual business.
