I missed a test and recently made it up but it cannot be graded or added to my garbed without a doctors not to prove my absence. I told my professor that my roommates mother us a doctor and checked me out when she was in town. My professor told me i could have my roommates mother email her but obviously I am going to have to make a fake email and send her a fake email. Will i get caught? Will she try to track it or have the university do it? Has anyone done this?
A fake email is a super bad idea. Why did you really miss the test?
Garbed? What?
In any event: You stand a good chance of getting away with it. You also stand a good chance of getting caught. If you get caught on something like this, actually forging something to get out of a jam—and yes, I as a professor have personally caught students doing similar things—you’re going to get hit hard, as you should be.
If it were me, I’d suck it up and tell the truth. You may feel otherwise—and you may actually be successful at it. Even if you are, though, you’ll still have cheated—so you’d have to enjoy knowing you got a break you didn’t deserve. Have fun with that.
Is THIS the person you want to be?? One who lies and then lies about her lies? Who produces fake documents to back up a lie?
Is this the person your parents raised you to be? Would mom and dad be proud if they heard of your scheme? Is it something they’ll want to include in the annual Christmas letter?
Is it the kind of thing you’ll raise your children to do?
Have some self respect. Do the right thing. Take responsibility for your actions.
