I would sincerely hope not! I don't think I could count the number of
times, as an undergrad, I did things like swap lecture notes with a
friend as part of a revision exercise. To discover that this could be
thought of as collusion rather than good study practice somewhat
surprises me.

Yes. How on earth would you determine it otherwise? Surely collusion
(and plagiarism) _have_ to be defined behaviourally.

It depends what you mean by "Sharing".
Can looking at a peer's work be perceived as different to
looking at a publication or book from the library?
is a better question to ask, and I would answer "No".
