Introduction
In this session you have been considering moral-ethical dilemmas you yourself faced or that you know of that you either resolved or failed to resolve but hopefully learned from. You may never have given much thought to ethical theory nor what ethical premises/paradigms you have unconsciously held.

You will be focusing on this case for this assignment:

Jane Doe is a nursing student at University X. Jane is in week eight of a course entitled: “Introduction to Ethics”.

For the week one discussion, Jane copied work done by her friend John Doe in the same class two months ago (with a different professor). John told Jane it was okay to use his work as John’s professor never checked any work in the class using Turnitin.com. John claimed to have earned an A on the work also.

In week two, Jane visited StudentPapering.com. She paid ten dollars for an essay written by a student who took the same course four months ago. StudentPapering promised high-quality work that couldn’t be detected as copied. Jane then uploaded this essay for her week two assignment.

In week three, Jane paid a worker at PaperingStudent.com ten dollars. She asked the worker to write a new essay based on the assignment instructions she provided.

By week four, Jane felt pressed for time. She relied on her knowledge of Esperanto.

In week five, Jane was running late again. She uploaded a blank paper, hoping to claim it was an innocent mistake. She wanted to avoid a late penalty. In a previous History course, she had done something similar and received no penalty. APA
