   5 %Initial reaction
   6 %       What was your initial, gut reaction to the case when it was first presented
   7 %       to you?
   8 The gut reaction to this case is to not give Jon a conditional heavy penalty.
   9 The action was clearly thought through and but still he was unable to
  10 understand the effects. This intuition arises mainly from the fact that no data
  11 was touched and Jon a well-performing student is but on the other hand he is a
  12 seasoned hacker in the eyes of his fellow students.

  14 %Facts
  15 %       What important facts are you given for this case?
  16 Several aspects of the case can shed light on the situation,
  17 - Jon was a seasoned hacker and thus should have known the responsibility he
  18         had. He was admired for these skills.
  19 -  Jon read the teacher's statement about security as a challenge while the
  20         other students did not read it as such.
  21 - Jon immediately gave in and confessed while stating he did not meant to do
  22         harm with it.
  23 - Jon said that this was his hobby. This means that he knows exactly what he is
  24         doing.
  25 - The dean has a good idea of what hacking is in the eyes of computer science
  26         students. However, some other in the board see ``hacking'' as deviant
  27         behaviour and even explicitly quote it.
