Lots of navel-gazing, brainstorming, lawyering on here!
Shoutout to those who complain about how all these posts are much-ado-about nothing and STILL continue to engage...

Wanted to add into this directionless pile to just say.. why do people even bother with the cheating?? A grade C, D, hell, even an F is by FAR easier to overcome through grade remediation, postbacc, personal statements, grovelling, etc. than a big fat IA. It's like causing a car accident and then instead of rectifying the injured or damaged through exchanging insurance/paying a higher premium as needed, you just set the damaged car in neutral and push it off the cliff whether someone was inside or not. Such a high risk for something that would've likely just needed a band-aid.

Why?? Because it is not perceived as high risk because the cheaters are so much smarter than the boomers in charge of catching them!!

on a lighter note, you may be offending gen Z and I guess 'to be boomer' is not itn your bucket list.😊

As the dad of a 17 year old, I can assure you that it's the result of not having a fully developed pre-frontal cortex.

maybe a dumb question, but what is an IA?

others can explain, but basically if you get one, it will follow you for a LONG TIME, and you will have to write an extra essay for almost every school you apply to. It’s a no-no by all means. Blazing red flag.

My professor accused me of changing the bubble sheet answers then asking her to regrade it.

Usually they take pictures of the sheets themselves, so unless someone else altered your sheet...

Thank you, I got the general idea of what it was, just was curious about what the acronym stood for. I searched it on google but failed to find it, spent a good 10 min brainstorming what those letters could mean haha There so many acronyms on these forums

I don’t know why I always read these expecting a dramatic story of how OP really didn’t cheat and got framed by the gunner kid in row 1.

OP is guilty every goddamn time

I've never quite understood why students resubmit exams for a regrade.

Okay you failed one exam-- So study well for the next one!

I mean... If the professor misgraded you, then obviously you'd want the points back.

Regardless, I don't know why this thread is still going.

questions can be ambiguous some times and you submit for regrade with your explanations. Our Freshwater Ecology student had grade changed from A- to A. My son had 4% change in a science test. Sometimes faculty drop entire question if multiple students complain.

Just out of sheer curiosity - is this the same person who was freaking out here because they got an A- in freshwater ecology?

classic ! accused of cheating leads to accused of grade grubbing !

I wish there was a way one of the mods could ask OP to come back and let us know what’s happening with his appeal.

We have SDNers who think that a B will keep them out of med school.

Thanks to them we are having lively discussions. Better than watching sports

As OP has not been seen in 4 days and the thread is so far off topic, we have decided to close it.
If OP wants to come back and let us know, I will happily re-open.
