Ben and Josh Are Good Friends Who Are Working on a Team

question 145

True/False

Ben and Josh are good friends who are working on a team assignment in statistics. They had planned to work on the project last night, but Josh called at the last minute saying he had a conflict, so Ben ended up doing all of the work. The instructor is giving each student the opportunity to critique the effort of his or her partner. Ben knows Josh needs the points on the assignment in order to pass the course and would like to keep Josh as a friend. If Ben decides to say that Josh deserves equal credit, he would be using relative ethical standards.
