Osama and Badr are roommates taking an EMBA class together this term. Their professor encourages collaboration on homework. Because Osama finds the assignments much easier than does Badr, Osama almost always ends up doing the work first, poring over the complex ethical problems before they meet. Badr then relies on Osama to explain the problems to him by showing Badr the approach and the homework Osama plans to hand in. Osama now feels that Badr is taking advantage of him. Should Osama demand that Badr do more of the work, even if it takes him twice as long? If Badr does not do his share of the homework, should Osama stop their joint homework, or even tell the professor that the way it worked out, Badr just copied Osama’s homework for each class?

  • Osama and Badr are brothers.
  • And Badr works so that he can pay the tuition and rent for himself and Osama.

Expert Solution

After reading the above case, it has been mentioned that Osama has capability to complete the homework faster and early as compared to Badr. So, Osama completes the work and later explains to Badr how it is solved and then Badr copies it.

Now, osama is feeling that Badr is using him for completing his work. But it's also mentioned that Badr is working for meeting the needs of he and his brother Osama.

So, in such situation, Osama should try to complete the homework when Badr is free, and they should discuss and complete the homework together, so that Badr understands well and increase his knowledge.

If this is not possible as Badr works, then Osama should make Badr understand the work and let him try completing the homework himself after properly being explained.

This way, Badr would also do the work and can complete and understand his assignments

Therefore, Osama should help his brother as he is working hard for meeting their needs and at the same time enrolled for EMBA class.

Complaining to professor in negative terms is not a good step as it could demotivate Badr. One thing he can ask to professor is to give time to Badr so that he can understand the topics well and work properly on assignments.

You and a close friend are taking a math class together. Three hours before an important test, your friend (who is close to failing and needs this class) texts you that she has a copy of the test (she says she got it from someone who found it in the copy room), but doesn’t know how to work the problems. She wants you to meet her and help her work through the problems. In answering, remember that this is your...

You and your entomologist friend (after a successful butterfly collaboration) decide to work together on locust mating (what can you say, insects are awesome!). You investigate an African population of locusts that seems to sort assortatively but not totally. You observed 2 main genotypes tied to sound production for mating: high chirp (dominant) and low chirp (recessive) controlled by the locus CHIRP. You score the mating calls for your population locusts and find that 27% are low chirpers. You also...

Write a program that utilizes a Professor class. A professor has a first name, last name, affiliation, easiness grade, and a helpfulness grade. Grades range from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest). The Professor class has two constructors. The first constructor initiates the object with just the first name, the last name, and the affiliation. The default value for easiness and helpfulness grade is 3. The second constructor initiates the object using the first name, the last name, the affiliation, and...

In a section of an English 201 class, the professor decides to be “generous” with the students and will grade the next exam in a unique way. Grades will be assigned according to the following rule: The top 10% receive A’s, the next 20% receive B’s, the middle 40% receive C’s, the next 20% receive D’s, and the bottom 10% receive F’s. Some may refer to this type of grading as “curving” which gave rise to the phrase, “Professor, do...

Suppose you are deciding whether to take Professor Fisher’s class or Professor Savage’s next semester. You happen to know that each professor gives A’s to those scoring above 90 on a final exam and F’s to those scoring below 60. You also happen to know that the distribution of scores on Professor Fisher’s final is approximately normal with a mean of 74 and a standard deviation of 7 and that the distribution of scores on Professor Savage’s final is approximately...
