cheated on midterm in college

<p>So what ended up happening on wednesday?</p>

<p>Take a semester off to get things together “emotionally”?</p>

<p>Mostly a C student who is graduating late? (I’m guessing that means you either failed or dropped quiet a few courses)</p>

<p>and on top of that you can’t even cheat properly? </p>

<p>All I can say is good luck.</p>

<p>^^you’re a ******bag</p>

<p>I can’t believe how insensitive people here are…
OP, despite what these people say, everyone makes mistakes, everyone. Just remember that life is NEVER over, not for things like that, and there are many things you can still do to turn your life around.
The people posting above will never understand the kinds of things you are going through. Given all you have done to support yourself through your education, you are a much more admirable person to me than any rich kid who go to top private schools on their parents’ money. Keep trying, and never give up!</p>

<p>You deserve it</p>

<p>you are right I will never understand what she is going through because I am not a cheater</p>

<p>you are *****ed</p>

<p>so i went to the meeting and my professor asked if i have anything to say to him and i said at this point it doesnt matter what i say. so he showed me this paper that had a bunch of options that my professor could check off, ranging from just an F in the class, to getting a letter mailed home, or getting a note on my transcript stating i cheated, or getting suspended/expelled from the school for X amount of years.
my professor said he chose to give me an F, get a letter mailed home describing the seriousness of cheating and the consequences if it happens again, and he chose to put a note on my transcript stating i cheated.
through out the meeting i remained 100% respectful, just nodding along, and agreeing. i told him im sorry once again and that i actually used this incident to reform my life and ive improved all areas of my life and that im just looking at the positive. he seemed impressed that i said that and he kept saying that it hurts him a lot to fill out this form and everytime he thinks of the incident it really makes him sad and then he was being very sincere and genuine saying that he wishes me the best in the future. this lasted just two minutes. so as soon as i left he emailed me saying see him again on friday. i went to him on friday and he said “i couldnt do it. my heart and conscience wouldnt allow me to put it on the transcript that u cheated. im still giving u the F. i was strngly advised to make a note on ur transcript but im not going to, i know this affected u immensely and youve been punished enough”. then he went on to say that if i ever need help in anything i can go to him and all this really sweet stuff. it was such an experience. thank u so much to all of u who helped me get through this. it meant the world to me. i only told 2 ppl about this and u guys. thanks so much for all ur kind words. im okay now, just letting u guys know that i got off easy in a way, but i dont recommend this. i am never cheating in mmy entire life again. i am never cutting corners, i will stay true to myself, i am still working hard every day of my life, its really changed me and made me a better person. i hope u all learned something from my experience as well.</p>

<p>I hope u learned, best of luck to u!</p>

<p>This seems highly fishy/ not true?</p>

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I was under the impression that a students records are confidential, and a school would not legally be allowed to do something like this.</p>

<p>Edit: FERPA is what I’m talking about.

<p>“i couldnt do it. my heart and conscience wouldnt allow me to put it on the transcript that u cheated. im still giving u the F. i was strngly advised to make a note on ur transcript but im not going to, i know this affected u immensely and youve been punished enough”</p>

<p>Wow I had no idea my 13 year old sister was a college professor</p>

<p>Glad to hear it went pretty well for you. You obviously learned from it and took responsibility for your actions so best of luck to you!</p>

<p>@johnson181 , i dont think i mentioned anywhere in my post that the letter was for my parents. the letter is for me to keep for my own records and they r going to mail me a copy of the form my professor filled out. how else would i get hold of it? im not interested in coming on collegeconfidential.com and ■■■■■■■■ for my own amusement, so next time dont make assumptions and accuse random people on the internet for making up stories, not everyone is like u.</p>

<p>Chill.</p>

<p>I never said you were the one making any story up. For all I knew it could have been the professor spewing out nonsense.</p>

<p>But since the letter was for you, and not your parents, it makes a lot more sense.</p>

<p>Your professor is an amazing guy for doing that.</p>

<p>when i read the first post i was against you. but if you really learned your lesson then im proud. good luck with the rest of your semesters :)</p>

<p>Was it an English class? </p>

<p>If you were getting Bs and Cs in all your classes were you really trying your hardest?</p>

<p>so whats happening to the kid that gave you all the answers?</p>

<p>i didnt snitch on him or anything, he just wanted to help me i guess. his intentions were good. it was just unnecessary to bring up the fact that someone gave me the answers, it would make the matter worse. im out of it though, had a meeting with the professor, the dean, got a bunch of letters sent home, and getting an F just for the class. i’ll live, life goes on. i learned my lesson.</p>
