Provide one example of collaboration for each of the following:

With a partner, review the following scenarios and answer the following questions:

Would this scenario support your learning?
Does it make you feel you couldn’t present the result as your own work?
If so, how could you change the scenario so that it would feel like it still resulted in something you could present as your own?
Scenario 1: You pair with a student from an upper mod and they type code into your project that helps you process something you were having difficulty understanding.
Scenario 2: You get stuck on a project and look at the completed project of a student from an upper mod.
Scenario 3: You get stuck on a project and look at the work that a classmate has pushed to their GitHub repository.
Scenario 4: You get stuck on a project and ask a classmate how they’ve approached a particular aspect of the project.
Scenario 5: You find a snippet of code on StackOverflow that you don’t fully understand and use it in your code.
Scenario 6: You copy code that someone else has completed and change some aspects to make it more specific to you.
