Could I do this or is it shady? (Showing low performing students my graded paper)

<p>I am taking an upper level quantitative social science course and a good portion of the class is having difficulty with their assignments. </p>

<p>I've gotten a 100 on every test and assignment thus far, mostly because I use the material in the course everyday at work. </p>

<p>Could I show under performing students one of my graded assignments so that they have an idea on what they are supposed to do and how they should present the results of their analysis? Or would this be considered a form of cheating?</p>

<p>Why don’t you ask the professor?</p>

<p>I think it would kind of depend on the situation. If this is a situation where they haven’t taken the test yet, or have the chance to retake the test…I would say no, I would definitely see that as cheating. If it’s a test that has already been taken and graded though, I don’t see the harm. They can’t really use the material to “cheat” because the next test is likely to cover entirely different material.</p>

<p>Asking the professor wouldn’t be a bad idea though. You wouldn’t want it to come back to you in a bad way.</p>

<p>Yeah, asking the professor would be best. If the professor allows it, (s)he will appreciate your efforts to help others. If the professor won’t allow it, well, (s)he’ll probably appreciate you for asking to make sure.</p>

<p>If everyone else in the class has gotten their test or paper back, I don’t see why not. I’ve never heard of any school where comparing grades/already graded work is against any rules.</p>
