So good people of Life 1 and GS, I am in a dilemma.
A friend of mine asked me to do his assignment for him as he is having personal family problems and he has too many things on his head. His excuse seemed genuine and valid and I did do it for him.
Now I am feeling bad and guilty.
Was it an ethically and morally right thing to do? He is in deep problems and he was going to fail the year.
Should I have helped him? Or not?
Have you faced any similar kind of situation before? Would you have said No or Yes? What would you have done?
It was a nice gesture but I would not make it a habit. The concerns may be legitimate but the if he is ever found out that someone else has done his work for him, then there are dire consequences.
Maybe he should raise his problems with his tutor/s, then they will help him as much as they can :)
I’ve done that MANY MANY times and still continue to do that
The thing is that it’s OK to help when someone is really stuck. But just make sure they don’t take advantage of you.
The other thing is that it’s kind of wrong of someone to have someone else do their work for them and they claim it as theirs. And both parties are to blame. So Shireeni dear, let’s both stop making a habit of this shall we?
such good actions should be done more often if they have a real background. one should never think of anything else while helping others but should judge the credibilty befre doing so.
I think helping someone to do an assignment is one thing....but doing the entire thing yourself is another. As long as it doesn't continue on....then it's fine that you helped him out, but if it does then I suggest you say that this time you will help him but can't do the entire assignment yourself because that is not fair.
In my university days I have taken tests for friends. But it is morally, ethically and religiously wrong . Allah maaf karay mujhay.
Avoid it as much as possible.

You saved him from failing a year. Well done.
Don't worry about it now.
When I was at university I was so terrible at one particular subject and the best at another. I found someone who was the best at the subject I was so terrible in and terrible in the subject I was best in...hope I haven't confused you yet. So basically we did eachothers courseworks for 3 years and never felt guilty once! No Ethics and no Morals just passing with flying colours each time! Hehe! :)
