I was taking an exam with proctorio. My professor is super anal and accuses students of cheating all the time. So I was taking a test and was using scratch paper to draw diagrams on the right side. However, she accused me of having a screen next to my computer while taking the test because of my eye movements? I saw the video and I had told her that I was drawing diagrams throughout the test because that is how I studied. I read the syllabus and it said nothing about not being able to use scratch paper, so I thought it was okay. She told me that the video “looks bad” but it’s just me looking at my scratch paper. I told her that I thought it was okay but she is so paranoid that I am cheating. My test scores and my assignment grades are all consistent! I study hard for this course and my grade shows it.
I need to turn in all of my applications for transfer this month. I sent her an email asking when she would make her decision and she said 1 to 2 weeks. Does this mean that she sent it to the academic dishonesty council? Why is it taking so long and what do I do?
I can’t have this on my record because I won’t be able to go to the colleges that I am applying to. I emailed her asking who and what decision will be made but she didn’t answer. Am I supposed to email the board, or do I get a lawyer already? Even if I am not accused and this doesn’t go on my record, I am withdrawing from her class because she makes life so stressful. HELP
