SITUATION 3

 

Bart is writing a paper on why students cut classes. 

Since it's a topic he already has "studied" quite a bit, he can write the paper without consulting any current research. 

However, his instructor insists that he list 10 sources, so Bart makes up some very clever article titles and author and publication names for his bibliography.

 

 

Is Bart guilty of one of the following kinds of academic dishonesty?

Cheating

Fabrication

Collusion

Plagiarism

Quite all right.  No Academic Dishonesty at all.
