Colleges and universities in North Dakota have increased their use of online education, and as a result, college students can unfortunately often find themselves accused of academic misconduct involving their taking of an online exam or their submission of an online assignment. Allegations of this nature can vary, they can include having unauthorized assistance, using unauthorized resources, unauthorized collaboration, plagiarism. Professors are often quick to accuse a student without completing a full investigation or even interviewing a student and schools are often in a rush to judgment.
Defending against allegations of this nature requires a very careful analysis of the exam or assignment in question, the response to the exam or assignment so that it can be determined exactly what took place, and whether there is an alternative explanation to the allegations of academic misconduct.
