Topic: Draft Letter Format

c/Commander · March 20th, 2008

Nowhere did I say that it wasn't unethical. "Blatant cheating", probably. It's not in the spirit of the assignment. If I were futuremedic I would turn in both - one essay-letter that he'd written himself, and one example of an unedited draft letter and a paragraph or two explaining it, and citing the source. Possibly score some brownie points with the teacher for the perception that he'd done extra research.

You both need to keep in mind that the concept of honor is not black and white. I originally misunderstood what he had done - I thought he would retype instead of photoshopping in the modified details - which is pretty close to, if not completely, "black". Retyping it would be slightly more gray. Doing the given assignment, and then adding more, is very clearly in the white. Please don't lecture me on honor codes.
