COLLUSION There is a significant difference between collaboration and collusion. Collaboration is working jointly with others and is often encouraged by course instructors. Collusion is working jointly with others when it is not permissible or when the instructor does notauthorize working in a group. 1 Permissible collaboration includes: • Group work that clearly follows the course director's instructions • Sharing research findings or discussing course materials with other students when these contributions are fully acknowledged in one's individual work In contrast, collusion includes: • Working with anotherstudent on an assignment when working in groups has not been approved by the instructor. • Dividing sections of an assignment or project among a group and then presenting it aswork having been completed individually. • Splitting the tasks for group assignments unevenly where some students do most of the work while others do very little.
