It happened during the summer semester that just passed. My professor stepped out of the classroom to go to the bathroom. He always graded the tests in between the class break and handed it back to us when we came back from the class break. A couple students went into his bag. Took out his notebook and then the page had his answer sheet. Another stood as lookout to warn the students when he was coming back. More students went to his desk and started taking pictures of the answer sheet and looking at it to change answers. When the look out warned he was coming. One student put it back into my professor bag and they all ran back to their seats.

Our professor always allowed us a cheat sheet. You have one piece of paper to put as many definitions or formulas on it. I just felt it was fucked up they went into the professors bag for the answers. And I snitched on what happened between the class break. Was I wrong? Or should I have let it go by?

Kids are actively going into debt that will take years to payoff, all for schooling that will amount to absolute shit in your work field, and they just want to make sure they dont have to pay the same fee twice.

And you just made them pay twice.

You are not a friend.

Too risky that you get punished with the rest of the class if someone else tells so it seems good to tell yourself

You did the right thing, fuck cheaters. Imagine going to a doctor who completed their schooling only because they cheated along the way? You wouldn't feel safe around them, fuck cheaters

They didnt fail the class. The professor just gave the class a warning and we had to retake the test. It was a lecture and lab type of class structure. The lector portion has 400 students and the lab takes place in smaller classes of 30-40 students. This took place in lecture so I didnt know the names of the ones that went into the bag to name them directly.

I would go to the head of your professor's department and then to the Dean of his division.

YOU having to retake the test is not fair.

I mean if this is like a premed class or something, do you want a doctor who took pics of their professor's answer sheets to get through their classes?

100% your teacher doesn't want to deal with all the paperwork and thinks this will look badly on him.

I doubt the head of the department and the Dean share his view on the subject.

Put it this way, if its a doctor that doesnt know what the problem is, do you want him to find out or not?

These kids found the right answers. Doctor material in my book.

We arent allowed to have our phones out during tests. If I had done that then showed it to professor I would get in trouble for using a phone during the test. Along with those students who went into his bag.

Not really, exceptions like that when you're using it to record important things tend to get overlooked if you just happen to send it from a phoney email to the department head. <.<

Yep. People who would rather put in effort to cheat rather than to learn the material. Hell, most of the material in classes anyways is just memorization and not even application of the material.

for a university course, that was really ballsy on their part. they risked not only zeros on the exam but academic misconduct violations ranging from probation to expulsion

you did the right thing from your personal standing in the course (especially if you prepared and this class utilised a curve), from their honest ability (and/or inability) to learn the material, and from discouraging behaviour like that in the future

i doubt very many people would have said anything so honestly, props to you

More likely just Google it and guess based on the results.
