Yoss cemented my B in that class. Whew.
Here's a question, I studied for about 12 hours yesterday for that thing and then I am taking the final and the girl in front of me is cheating the whole time, flipping through her notes...I worked hard for my B, do I rat her out??
what would you gain in that Ed?? it has no effect on you..

Are you asking me as a lawyer, or as a human being? ;)

Besides the whole integrity spiel...which in some cases is hypocritical of me!
It kind of does though. This Prof. is a d*ck and a tough grader. Say my exam in normal terms is a C and her cheated one is an A, might me below average exam become a D? Maybe he'll think, see some of these kids get it so my paper which was a C before should really be a D in those terms.

didn't Jesus or someone write you catholics a little parable for this one? the parable of the cheating slag?
Let it go. don't grass. what goes around comes around.

Yes but as a education student at Temple, C- don't carry and we have over a 3.0 GPA (not that that's a problem for me, my GPA is in the high 3.7's but still...) so say I get a C- or lower in this class because I got a D on the final (highly likely scenario) it would cost me a buttload of cash and time to have to retake the class.

Fixed. :p

I see where you're coming from Eddie.
The thing about cheating is that its not really a "victimless crime", since most classes are curved. And when everyone adopts the live and let live attitude, who's going to stop that person from cheating through college? Its a tough call. Frankly, I couldn't blame you either way. I personally wouldn't do it, but mostly because I've always felt that I could do better in a class than anyone who needed to cheat.
One word for you, eddie.
KARMA.
Don't do it, like Mr. Monkee said.

I probably wouldn't but if u've ever cheated on a test before then u shouldn't.

Yes but as a education student at Temple,
btw- My sister-in-law graduated from Temple - she's a teacher in Filthydelphia. My father-in-law was a School Superintendent down that way
anyways, if you grass her up can we all then grass you up to the powers that be for getting legal advice from Yosser?
than again....Money!? money you say....grass that no good bitch up...you haven't got anymore time to ******** around with your life, you got work to do....go ahead, destroy her life...any other witnesses besides yourself?

As someone who has helped you via dubious means, I'm not sure you've got moral grounds to stand on. That said, this isn't about your moral grounds to stand on, its about someone cheating and it might effect your grade. I'd rat her out only if there was a way to do it anonymously, but I doubt there is.
Also, are you sure it wasn't open-book and you screwed up? I mean, perhaps you didn't attend a lot of classes and missed the part where he said it was open-notes. Not that you'd ever skip a class!
PS: Kieth misses you and we Aaron and Dave won no free rounds on Tuesday...but Reg and I won 3.

then again.... then again...
Then again why was she cheating? What was making her so desperate? Maybe she has a family to feed? Or perhaps a drug dealer to take care of? Where is your compassionate heart?

Oh, I've got 0 moral ground. I admit that.
I could do it anonymously very easily.
But like others said, karma. God knows if I actually took notes in that class and had them with me, I might have done the same. Hell, if I could read her handwriting I would have used them myself.

What's this next life business? Try the one he has on now... ;)
