Academic Integrity: Max had to do a paper but he didn't manage his time well. He copied and pasted a lot of information from the Internet into his paper and then listed many references that he did not even use.

This is also plagiarism and complete academic dishonesty. Would likely get a zero, as even without the blatant plagiarism, he had a list of sources that weren't even used. that would call for major point deduction.

Academic Integrity: Amy had to write a paper in her health class and also in her sociology course. To maximize her time, she decided to write one paper and submit it in both classes.

This is self plagiarism and should be punished with accordance to rules. Asking the both teachers should have been her first step. Academic Dishonesty. Would likely get a zero on one and a deducted grade for the other
