Re: Overheard a cheating braggart, snitch or no?
i didn't read any replies nor did i read your entire post (i read the first paragraph).
my philosophy is that life is a lot easier when you worry about yourself and stay out of other people's business. its really that easy. good luck.

Re: Overheard a cheating braggart, snitch or no?
I would snitch in your position. Typically grades are assigned based on how your scores relate to the other people in the class (varies by prof of course), so he isn't just helping himself by cheating he is hurting everyone in the class.

Re: Overheard a cheating braggart, snitch or no?
If he cheated and got away with it then surely the next move is buy him a beer and ask him how he did it.
At an English university you would be considered total filth by the rest of the student body if you ratted someone out like that. The ratting would be seen as a lot lot worse than the cheating.

Re: Overheard a cheating braggart, snitch or no?
The biggest key here is that you got nothing. If you have concrete proof someone is cheating, and it's really messing you up, than go for it.

Re: Overheard a cheating braggart, snitch or no?
Tell the teacher. Screw that guy. And screw the mafia-wannabe attitude on many in this thread (I ain't no stoolie). This guy isn't your pal. Besides the fact you busted your ass all semester, you said it yourself - he can actually hurt you with his cheating.
P.S. I'm badmouthing the attitude. Personally I'm sure you're all charming and wonderful.

Re: Overheard a cheating braggart, snitch or no?
Only got through half of the replies... First, I think I took the Legal Environment of Business. It was a really intersting class. DOes the Prof look a bit like Santa?
Second, if the class is on a curve. I snitich. If not, I wouldnt. And yes, both of these have happended to me and I have followed my own advice. The fact that you don't have a direct admission doesnt matter. Let the Prof deal with what you have how they see fit. Tell him you overheard this guy implying he cheated on the exam. If the prof wants to investigate he will, you did your part. As for the exam coming up. Again I consider curve/no curve. Curve, I tip off the Prof this guy cheated on another exam, you may wish to keep an eye on him. As for retaking an exam, I cannot imagine this happening during scheduled finals week ever at U of I. aka non issue.
