<p>junior @ top University. Took a self paced anthro. class last semester. D professors syllabus stated that we weren't 2 collaborate on D labs/exams. A facebook group was created 4 D class. I Joined n so did my classmates. During D semester students exchanged answers on FB I went on FB, A student asked " Who wants 2 compare lab answers" my response 2 her question was "me too". After my comment another student replied we should meet in chat. Long story short 100 students were reported 2 D judicial system for involvement in collaborating/attempt 2 collaborate. I didn't say much except "me too". I also didn't go in D chat room. It may not seem that way B/C there is no way 2 tell but i didn't cheat. D Deans Office is threatening me with academic violation-C in D class. From what i understand having a record of violation prevents you 4rm entering GradSchool/having a life after college. Plz help me find a way 2 get out of this situation. Im shy/dont know how 2 stand up for myself.</p>
<p>First of all, this is a grad school forum. You will get more and better responses if you can actually communicate in the English language. “D” is not a word. If you cannot communicate clearly on here then you simply have no future in grad school and your question is moot.</p>
<p>As to your actual problem, if you violated the rules you have little reason to complain about punishment. You explicitly indicated a desire to break the rules in a forum filled with people who were doing so. You may be able to argue a lesser punishment based on your low level of participation (assuming you can present some evidence), but I doubt they will be sympathetic.</p>
<p>There is no getting out of this situation.</p>
<p>However, a record of violation does not necessarily eliminate the possibility of grad school, it just hurts it. If they allow you to remain in school you still have a shot. Just make sure to spend your remaining time as an undergrad showing that you are a paragon of virtue, and accept that you may have to accept a slightly lower level of grad school than to which you might have otherwise aspired.</p>
<p>One minor academic violation isn’t going to “prevent you from entering graduate school or having a life after college.”</p>
<p>Be honest about what you did, understand the mistake you made and plead for leniency. If the rule says “don’t collaborate,” that means don’t collaborate.</p>
<p>And yeah, what cosmic said about the grammar thing.</p>
<p>I know D is not a word but the message box only allowed me 1000 words so i have to impervise in a way that i could post and still allow the message to be interpreted. Sorry for the codes i tried my best</p>
