Failing and learning their lesson are two different things. Are you saying that every time someone cheats and fails, they've learned their lesson and won't do it again?

Obviously not cuz they were failing when they cheated.

Congrats dude. I am glad you have a backbone. If more people took this line of action there would be less people that cheated their way through college, therefore, more "Hard-working" , educated people would employed.

You did the right thing
 
Good job OP. As a student, its sometimes awkward for us wheter or not to turn someone in. As an instructor, you made the right choice.

That's the kind of mentality that encourages people to cheat and expect to get away with it. They shouldn't be cheating, and that kind of mentality should not be rewarded, as it will only carry on with them into the workplace and society, where it REALLY starts to matter.
 
If I was a student, I would not get involved.

As an instructor, it is your job to teach and uphold the rules. I would have definitely turned them in.
 
Depends.

First off peoples eyes wander during tests. It happens. Thats not good enough reason in my
book to turn someone in for cheating. If you catch someone staring at someone paper over and
over, thats a different story.

However, if you find that students end up with common wrong answers. Like they both got 3,4,7, 9
wrong. And they did the exact same things wrong, and the mistakes are same for those problems.
I would consider turning them in. Because in that case the cheating is apparent.

Turning someone in for cheating is one of those things you don't want to be wrong on.
 
if you are the instructor, i think it's your duty to make sure you assign the right grades to the right people. i'd turn them in.

I'm all interested now and I'd kinda like to know what the consequences are.

I dont know. I can update with the final outcome.

Frankly I am a bit disgusted with the attitude of some of you on here. I do not think cheating should be allowed, or go unpunished. First of all, it is not fair to the other students who actually work for their grade. Secondly, do you want your doctor/someone who designs your car etc to have cheated their way through school.

Also, the whole "well they already are failing..." is something you can say, but is this fair to some other student who happened to be passing when they cheated and were subjected to more punishment than a 0.0 in the course they cheated in?
 
fvck them. Its those pricks and the goddamned premeds that cheat to get their GPA's up that screw everyone else over. Let them burn.
 
glad you turned them in. they need to learn to put in the effort instead of trying to cruise through everything, otherwise, they'll get burned fast out in the workforce.
