Most students have a pretty good idea of what is considered cheating on an exam or quiz.
However, many have a hard time distinguishing what is acceptable from what is not acceptable when it comes to writing lab reports. It is expected that you will, on occasion, not successfully perform an experiment and that your data will not be good. When this is the case you should focus on writing a good report explaining what might have gone wrong. Your report MUST be your own work. Keep in mind, also, that in such situations the person who allows someone to look at his or her report is considered equally guilty.
