Overheard a cheating braggart, snitch or no?

[tdarko]

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.

But for me if you snitch then your a bitch is kind of a general rule for me.

I see you cheated on the English portion of the SAT.

To the OP - I would probably turn the guy in if I had proof that he cheated. This is college, and his artificially high grade can, in some circumstances, lower yours or have an otherwise negative effect (no matter how small) on your college career. However, since you simply overheard a confession I don't think you've got enough to warrant ratting him out. For now you can't really do much beside being pissed and remembering that this guy's a bitch if you meet him later in life.

This guy is an Accounting major, he mentioned the Master's in Accounting Science program when discussing his cheats with his friend, but the course in question is "The Legal Environnment of Business," ironically enough, one which brings up some ethical/legal questions.

Well the original post mentions an accounting class I thought (I could be wrong and I don't feel like re-reading). I really doubt a history major or music major will be taking an accounting course, no?

No but a Marketing major would, in any event a think the majority of college courses don't directly influence your ability to perform X job.

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.

I can't really give a good answer since I was the one talking about cheating on the SAT. But for me if you snitch then your a bitch is kind of a general rule for me. I know confronting him is hard to do but is really the way a man would handle it.

You are the bitch. People like me and OP bust our asses getting good grades only to see some lazy cheater get a better mark without doing any work. Wanting what we entitled to is not bitchy, its justice. People who cheat [censored] the hard workers over, expecially when competing for grad school. If you are ratted out for cheating, blame your stupid lazy self.

Randy: There's a flat grading scale, if I get an X on the final and total a Y in the course, I will always earn my A. However, in the event that the average is centered at, say, 70, instead of the nice 80 mean that the usual bell curves have, he'd use natural breaks and create a new grading progression, but never such that it'd hurt me.

I never got caught cheating and didn't really cheat in college. I needed to get 150 more points on my SAT to get into Dartmouth to play baseball. I took two seperate courses and did my best but still needed 50 more. They take the best composite score so I did what I had to do. Most people that cheat don't make A's anyway they cheat and gets Cs and maybe Bs so if you are such a hard worker and get As then you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

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.
