Colleges and universities in Nebraska have increased their use of online education and as a result, college students can often, unfortunately, find themselves accused of academic misconduct or an academic integrity violation for their taking of an online exam or their submission of an online assignment. Allegations of this nature can vary. They can include plagiarism, unauthorized assistance, unauthorized collaboration, the use of unauthorized resources. Professors are often quick to accuse a student without completing a full investigation or even interviewing a student. Schools can also be in a rush to judgment.
Defending against allegations of this nature requires a very careful analysis of the exam of the assignment. In addition to the response to the exam or assignment to determine exactly what took place and whether there is an alternative explanation to the allegation of academic misconduct.
