Q Question 1 12.5 / 20 pts Read the following scenario, a variation of one presented in the text: Jasmine, a college student, is taking five courses, working a part-time internship, and trying to keep a high GPA so that she can enter graduate school. After staying up all night to complete a 15-page term paper, Jasmine realizes that she forgot to write a four-page paper for her English class. Strapped for time and not wanting to damage her grade in the course, she remembers that she helped edit a paper from a friend of hers who took the English class with another professor last semester. She still has that paper in her Google docs folder. She remembers that the paper was quite good and that her friend received an A. Should she just hand in the paper as her own? Look at the following list of considerations. Decide whether the consideration reflects pre-conventional, conventional, or post-conventional thinking according to Kohlberg. Question 2 20 / 20 pts Here are those different considerations again: -Whether the campus rules against plagiarism should be respected. -How big the risk is that Jasmine will get caught -Whether it is fair to other students also applying to graduate school if Jennifer isn’t caught and gets accepted instead of them partly due to this plagiarized essay -Other students in the class are plagiarizing -Whether turning in a friend’s paper as her own will be best for her future career -Whether the friend would be academically hurt by using her paper -Whether she is violating the rights of the professor and other students in the class by turning in the essay -Jasmine was busy writing another 15 page paper all on her own Pick the four considerations that you think are most important in deciding what to do. Explain why these would be most important in your moral decision making in this scenario.
