    Thumbs down Bitch? or no Bitch?

    Okay so I wrote my last final today, 8 am...the only one this semester I was reaaaaaaally nervous about because we don't get any formulas (no formula sheet), and there were a lot to remember.

    Anyways, the girl next to me this morning was cheating. Badly. She turned her page (and I wasn't cheating, myself...just that obvious) and there was an entire piece of graph paper full of formulas and examples just tucked right into her exam. <--Would have been worth GOLD in that test, let me tell you. She checked back to it quite often...and for some reason...as soon as I knew she was cheating and thought about how much I studied and how hard I worked in class (plus this morning I was completely sleep deprived) and I couldn't handle it. Our school also has a very strict no cheating policy and you are usually booted from the class, at least, if you are caught cheating on any test...nevermind the final.

    So I handed my test in and promptly spilled the beans, with her watching a few feet away. I'm sure she knew what I was talking about and I was too mad to even care. My best friend AND my dad are the two people i've mentioned it to and they both freaked out at me, called me a bitch, and told me they wouldn't have done it. I honestly don't feel bad: Not for telling on her, not for the fact I just ruined her day, and not for the fact that she'll get no credit for the course. <--If you are going to cheat, especially on the final, DO A BETTER JOB.

    So I thought i'd find out what you guys think!

    I would have said something.You studied hard for the test and for someone to cheat is insulting.

    That's a tough one... One thing, it sucks to rock the boat on anyone for anything, that's just how people are... Or, at least me, BUT...
    I had a friend experience the same thing. She had to tell on the girl because the professor only gave out a certain amount of A's and he also workedon a grading curve. Cheating messes with that and ruins for everyone else that studied.
    I don't know if I would have said anything personally, but then again, I have never seen anyone cheat so obviously. If you are going to do it, not that it's right at all, but don't make it obvious!
    Please don't lick me, it tickles..

    I think you were being a bitch. Everyone has cheated some way in life. I would have only told if I was staff or something and it was part of my job to do so.

    I would have told but only because she was doing it so blatantly. The professor may have seen it, and because you were sitting so close to her, thought you where cheating too. I have seen students cheat in many of my other classes. I do not like to be a snitch. So I have only done so when it looks like I could get accused as well due to the cheater. Tiff sit up front or away from other people during your other finals if you can. Gypsy you are right about the curve thing. The best cheaters do so in a way that no one knows, and usually do it so they stay just in the class average so as not to draw attention to themselves. This kind of cheater I would not snitch on. The cheater you ran into Tiff was being stupid and asking for it.

    Too bad you don't have an answer that says "No, you weren't a bitch for telling on her...but I wouldn't have."

    I'm of the philosophy that those who cheat are only cheating themselves. Pie in the sky, yeah I know...

    Me personally, you were a snitch.

    Trust me, she wasn't the only one in class cheating. It seems like you were more so pissed that you hadn't thought of the idea. Now, lets flip it here...lets say she passed you the notes...WOULD you have used them?? I think you would've..

    I think you were right Tiff. I hate when people fuck up the curve.

    And I don't think getting caught will fuck up her prospects as much as getting in over her aptitude. She'd be like Brownie doin' a heck of an incompetent job somewhere.

    Well, I thought about it...and I still don't feel bad.
    I'm in college, i'm not an naive idiot on some self-righteous trip about how nobody ever cheats ever...that's just bogus and I understand that.
    I've seen other people cheat in a lot of other tests too, in fact, in my accounting class a girl used to always obviously look at my answers...I never said anything because I did horrible in that class and she was probably better off to guess.
    Personally? Since college, I haven't ever blatantly cheated on a test or an assignment. <--Cut corners? Perhaps. But reading a few sparknotes is really different than what this girl did...and she did it BADLY!

    Oh, and to Liyah, in regards to "potentially ruining this girl's career prospects": She ruined them herself by making the decision to cheat. And they aren't even ruined, she just probably will fail the class, but that's HER problem and not mine.
    Here's an interesting tidbit for you: My dad went to university with a guy who was in Engineering, and he cheated his way throughout his entire schooling and never got caught. He's now an engineer and doesn't know his shit, designing bridges and buildings and "ensuring that they are safe for the rest of us". <-- Do you really want people like that running the world? It's kind of a dramatized example, but still. Also, that's fine that you think i'm a total bitch and a snitch...I think you're rude and spineless, so I guess we're even.

    And yes, its pretty safe to say that she WAS the only one cheating since there were only 5 people writing this final...it was a hard class to get into and it was a hard class to take...THE hardest class i've ever taken and i've never worked harder. <---THIS was my main reasoning for saying something. If she passed me the notes, I would have been even more insulted. Like I said, I worked hard for that class and want the grade that I deserve to get from actually learning the material.

    There are 2 ways to look at this.

    - In essence, yes, you did the right thing. Cheating on tests is one thing I absolutely despise. There are certain people at this university that aren't worth their weight in fart dust, can't read or write; yet they will receive a degee that carries the same weight as mine. There are rules against cheating for a reason. Academic dishonesty is dispicable.

    - In reality, telling probably wasn't the best idea. It could open you up for some repercussions. At the least an ass chewing/bitch out session, and possibly an ass kicking.

    About 2 weeks ago my prof made me stand up in front of the class and monitor during a test while he ran back to his office and got some papers he forgot. He wanted me to rat out the cheaters when he got back. He knew people cheated, and he could see it in my face, but he didn't pursue it and I didn't say anything. I felt extreme guilt for a while, and even asked a few friends and my mom their opinions on whether or not I should go to him about it. Ultimately I decided not to because he knew already, and I could get seriously hurt. Sometimes it's better to let sleeping dogs lie and just allow karma to do its work, if it will.

    You made it your problem when YOU decided to snitch, your thoughts on me have no status sweetie, u do not know me neither do I know u hence why I would not make a judgment about your character. If you find it hard to cope with other people's opinions maybe you should not start threads such as this.. why ask if your a bitch if you do not want to be called one?

    It was a hard class to get into, a hard class to take... she knew what she was getting into. Fuck her she deserved to be ratted out. I despise cheaters. When you go to college you are supposed to work your way through, not cheat your way through. So good on you for pointing her out.

    liyah... would you want a doctor that cheated his way through his med exams? If he doesnt know the answers at exam time, whos to say hes going to know the answers when hes trying to diagnose you with a serious illness, or better yet he hits a hard point in a risky surgry.

    Best one i've encountered is when I was taking my coaching exams for horseback riding. I watched one girl try and cheat her way through the written exam. I pointed her out to the exam judge, her exam was taken away. Im sorry I would never want a riding coach who doesnt know her stuff. When you coach riding your taking peoples lives into your hands. You have to be able to talk a rider out of any situation be it gaining control of a run away horse or how to properly ride a jump course. Riding is dangerous, no one deserves to have a coach that cheated their way through an exam.

    Exams are there for a reason, its to make sure you know your stuff before you move on.

    I think the reason liyah is pissed because shes a cheater too

    People who take the easy way out like that make me nervous. If people like that get degrees, who's to say this person couldn't be your doctor in a couple years???? I'd be afraid.

    If people feel the need to beat up a person over something like this, then they obviously know it's wrong.

    LOL I dont do cheating, everything I have has been earned through hard work! I am not commending this cheat ( please do not get it twisted) I am simply saying that tiff did not have to say anything, if this cheat had to steal answers to pass this exam then im sure her imcompetence would have been recognised later on down the line..

    the examining board ( if thats what you call them) should take some responsibility, how did she obtain the answers, bit sloppy of them dont u think!

    Of course Tiff didn't "have" to say anything. Nobody "needs" to do anything when they see someone doing something wrong, they "choose" to.

    If I were called out for cheating, I would actually be relieved. Obviously I was slacking and needed to be woke up.

    If Tiff didnt call the girl out, whos to say anyone would catch on... this girl would pass her course and still not know a damn thing about what she did.

    Some people are just that good at sneaking answers into an exam.

    I know a girl in my grade twelve math class who would program the formulas into her scientific calculator before exams.

    Now that I think about that one... the teachers shouldnt have allowed personal calculators for the class. Our school supplied them. Meh.. still its that easy
