How would you react if you caught someone cheating off you?

My friend had a bad partner for digital signal processing lab. This guy never did homework. Before it was due, the guy would call my friend and want to compare answers over the phone or he would just out right copy the homework. My friend is a nice guy and in the beginning let the dude copy the homework, but eventually it became obvious that the guy did not know anything about the class and was lazy. So to see exactly how clueless this guy was, my friend decided to make a separate homework that had 6 instead of the 5 problems with completely made up nonsense answers

One of the answers was based around a triangular-squariodal-wave.At first the guy was a little skeptical, but my friend made up some more bs and made him believe it. I just cant believe that this guy was stupid enough to not even know the correct number of problems or the fact that my friend made up random words and numbers on problems that did not even exist.

Anyways this kid actually copied the homework and turned it in...and I think you know how the grade turned up.

This just made my morning. 🙂 fabulous!

Says you with no moral compass.....



👍



:

You've got it backwards. I DO have a moral compass.

Maybe that kid you turned in just found out the day before the exam that his mother has cancer.

Or maybe he has terrible dyslexia and knows the material but needs help on a long exam.

Or maybe he has crohns disease and has been sick all week.

Or has major depression.

Or maybe he Is taking care of a dying grandparent.

Or his parents are filing for bankruptcy.

Perhaps I should have said this sooner instead of just being cynical. But this is why you should mind your own business. Giving false answers and making fake lab reports are for AFTER the first cheat fest. Always give a person the benefit of the doubt first. But be prepared for a second time. Turning someone in is not cool at all..,,..,.karma is gonna come back to you on that one mark my word. I bet most of you spewing self righeousness are 22 and younger...., maybe under 24.

Trust me that is what your professor is doing regardless of what he or she says to your face. .

I'm not buying it. Although sad situations, cheating is still cheating. If he wasn't ready to sit for the exam due to extenuating circumstance, he should have been an adult and approached the professor beforehand. But he didnt. He was standing outside the hallway cutting up and nonchalant.

Nah Bruh. I think I about got it pegged. You have NO moral compass. This is the problem with people. They justify scumbag behavior and cut corners because they think they have it rougher than everyone else. Get over yourself.

Naive.

Sigh. You know my younger brother, who is now an engineer, used to have an attitude a lot like yours when he was 20. And then all of a sudden at the beginning of October during his junior year of college he developed crohns disease. Now, it came on slowly. So he thought he just kept getting sick with a stomach bug and felt kind of lousy. He wasn't sick enough that he was compelled to go to the doctor but his grades started to slip. By November he was sick but had learned how to manage it to try and keep up with his work. He thought it would get better and besides he was struggling and didn't have time to go to the doctor. But his grades were still slipping. By the end of November he was in the hospital for two weeks. His flare up was brought under control in a total of about 3 weeks but he was devastated for much longer than that because he was dealing with the diagnosis and his new regimen of "so many $&@?/(& pills".

Anyway, my point is that bad things can happen to everyone and it's always easy to say "well I'd talk to the professor!" or "I'd never handle it that way." "I'd never cheat. I'm better than that."

You just never know!

Lol. So naive.

Strong comeback. You must really understand how the world works. 👍

I understand what you're saying. Sorry about your brother's disease, and I'm sure it must have been tough. But I am not giving my doctor any sympathy when he/she is incompetent and can't effectively treat patients because they cheated their way through life.

I'd never cheat. I've had te opportunity, and I've bombed tests because didn't prepare adequately. Just like I'd never steal bc I was hungry. It's that simple. That's what I'm saying. Integrity is doing what you know is right. No matter what. Regardless of circumstance. It's a life decision.

OP, since this makes you so uncomfortable (and it is definitely cheating), just don't let anyone look at your lab reports from now on. Turn them in early and then you can't let someone see it at the beginning of class. Or get to class a minute late. 😀 I don't think it's necessary to tell the professor, but I wouldn't let her do it again. If she is the kind of person who cheats off you but can't be bothered to be friends with you, don't think she will hesitate one second to throw you under the bus if the professor calls her out.
