Now, what was that word?

Assignments in my course have been abolished this year. In years past, they were required, but did not count toward a student's final grade. They were only used as a means to assess readiness to complete the final exam.

In addition to Tutor Support, our courses have a Student Lounge section. The Student Lounge is a bulletin board for the exchange of ideas between students.

Now, with that little bit of background, supply the word that you feel best fits the following scenario.

An online quiz, worth 30% of a course's final grade, is due November 2 at noon. At 7:00 p.m. on November 1, a person posts the following message in the Student Lounge:

    Anyone want to compare answers before we all submit? In other student lounges, when we had to do assignments, we used to chat about the questions before we submitted.
    I have:
    1. a, 2. a 3. a 4. b 5. d 6. d 7. ? 8. d 9. ? 10. a 11. b 12. ?
There is a word for this. I know there is. Oh, what is that word, again? ...

Yeah, she's pretty stupid alright.

Personally, I think there is a pretty big difference between chatting about the questions on the assignments and exchanging the answers to the multiple choice quizzes.

I kind of hope she flunks. I don't think she's bright enough for this line of work.
