Description

A Difficult Course B present students with the fallout from a bout of cheating. A Difficult Course (A) details the circumstances that led to the main character’s slip in judgement, and asks students how to proceed. A Difficult Course (B) is the resulting outcome. Students take caution as they review the protagonist’s mistakes.

This case was originally developed for both undergraduate and graduate level students. For a version that is geared toward executive-MBA programs, please see Honor Code (A) and Honor Code (B).
