I was accused once in my undergrad and I thought it highlighted an interesting issue.

It was my senior year, and I attended a systems programming course that was being piloted and was very challenging. Work in the CS department was very group heavy, especially in courses heavy on theory. I benefited a ton from working with groups with other students outside of class. In your data structures/theory/math courses, this wasn't an issue - But in this class in particular, peoples submissions started to look similar.

It was resolved rather quickly because we just had to be honest, but I thought it was interesting - Specifically because, in classes that were so challenging heavy collaboration was what pulled me through, I barely remember the course content anymore. But, the soft skills I acquired from hours of collaborating with my peers after class hours has followed me for life and made a noticeable impact on my career.
