Peter is a Diploma of Nursing student and has his Case study due next week. He is juggling between 2 part-time jobs and studies. Hence, he is struggling to find time to do his assignment. He has a friend named Rita who recently graduated from IHNA and he asks her for her assignments that she completed during her course. Peter realizes they have the same assignment topic. So, he copies Rita's assignments and hands them over to the educator. What alternative action could Peter have taken to uphold academic integrity in this situation?
a) Discuss his time constraints with his educator and negotiate an extension for the assignment.
b) Acknowledge Rita's assistance in his assignment by properly citing her work and providing references.
c) Prioritize his time effectively and allocate specific study periods for completing the assignment.
d) Collaborate with Rita to brainstorm ideas and independently write his own assignment.
