<p>Hmmm. It really depends on a couple of things.</p>
<p>Does your school have an Honor Code? What does it say? Does your school have a written policy on cheating? What does it say?</p>
<p>Our old Honor Code at my school included the terms “I will not cheat nor tolerate those that do.” Under that policy, you would have, in fact, cheated. </p>
<p>However, we changed our Honor Code at the beginning of this year to say “I will not cheat and will encourage others to do the same”. We felt the above was too harsh on students. Under this policy, you would have not cheated.</p>
