Honor Board Academic Abstract Case Number Unknown
A Haverford student, Prince William was taking Computer Science 110 here at Bryn Mawr. While taking this course William copied work done by a Bryn Mawr student in the class. The professor of the class brought each student, one at a time, into her office to discuss the evident plagiarism. The Bryn Mawr student, Mary Queen of Scots denied copying the program- the professor believed her because the work handed in was consistent with Mary’s previous projects. Another statement made by the professor was on the class attendance and participation of the two students; she shows that William has frequently missed class and not taken advantage of the TA sessions, where Mary has not missed class and regularly attends the help sessions.
The statement from William is short and to the point; he admits to partially plagiarizing the program, although he does not admit that he was harming another student by taking her work.
It is the decision of the Honor Board that in fact William was in violation of Bryn Mawr’s Honor Code. Therefore, he will receive a grade of 0.0 in the class and is suspended from taking classes at Bryn Mawr for one full year – the Haverford Registrar’s office was to be notified of the grade and his class suspension.
