Scenario: Academic Integrity Discussion

You worked hard, and made it through the first year of your program, and even managed to achieve honour roll grades! Amazing! You have a supportive group of classmates, and have made a lot of connections at the college so far.

Your sister's friend, Jules, has just started her first year in the same program as you. You know Jules looks to you for guidance, and you don't mind helping out every now and then.

It's about half-way through the semester, and you run into Jules in the hallway. She looks stressed. You remember how much work it was to get through the first semester of your program. She asks you if you would mind sharing some of your assignments from first semester so she has an idea of how to complete them. What do you do?
