My accounting exams always go the same. I feel like I have no clue what I'm doing on homework and during class and I'm 99% sure I'm going to bomb the exam, and then I somehow pull off a B. Btw bonds suck.

Accounting is a pretty decent program to get into as far as job prospects and median income out of college go. It's just a lot of information to retain and a lot of nuances. I would probably have a 4.73927473937 GPA if I was doing some liberal arts poo poo and just spent my days writing papers.

Naked Bear posted:That went way too well. Now I'm worried. gently caress you get that feeling too? I just finished some auditing homework that I legit thought would take me several hours but only took me maybe ten minutes. Now I'm thinking I hosed it up royally. And this happens every time an assignment seems easy.

i have a professor who loves to give backhanded compliments. i'm not sure she realizes that they are backhanded and i am 100% sure she means well, but telling me "i really admire someone coming back to school when they are almost 30" is both a compliment and a reminder that i'm almost loving 30.

This is NOT a book you want to get behind in. It's overwhelming.

I equate a long rear end trial balance as an assignment with writing a six page essay and the only feedback you get is "there's one word wrong in this" and you have to correct it before you can get credit for it. And then Quickbooks/Firefox unexpectedly logged me out of the website and I lost all my work that I had been doing for ~2 hours. I upended my books and walked off. I was pisssssssssed.

I would probably just make him redo it and if he can't get it done properly and in time, then I would tell the professor. There's no benefit to ruining his academic life at this point other than vindictiveness.

print scream key posted:yeah what's your point? That there's nothing to gain from it. He's caught red handed. Calling him on it will probably embarrass him and might set him straight. Telling the professor could get him kicked out of school depending on how egregious they see the cheating to be. Why not give him a chance to right the ship before possibly ruining the next ~40 years that a college degree could get him? If he shows no remorse after you call him on it then by all means, tattle.

I'm sure 99% of the people in college have cheated on something, including the people who post in this thread. So suddenly taking the holier than thou stance that it's against the rules so you should tell on him seems hypocritical and stupid.

This isn't the military dude. It's not hard to ask for an extension, even on the basis of "my partner hasn't held up his end of the bargain." If you get turned down for it then by all means, explain what you mean by your partner not holding up his end. But why ruin the guy if there's an alternative that could possibly scare the poo poo out of him?

Naked Bear posted:I'm already going to take a hit on this report because I had to start the whole thing over. Whatever happens to him is not my concern; what happens to me is. I have not, do not, nor will cheat on anything I put my name on, whether for school or work, because I value my self-worth and reputation too much to just piss it away for saving a few minutes or whatever. I do not want my name to be on anything like that or to be associated with anyone who plays that way. That's why you go to the professor and ask for an extension due to your partner not holding up their end, and you show them the work you have done to substantiate what you are saying. If the professor says no, you tell them the reason you were asking is because your partner plagiarized what they gave you, and you wanted to give them a chance to do it properly. If the professor says yes, you get him to do it properly. If he continues not to, you tell the professor the reason you asked for an extension is to give your partner a chance to do things correctly. Everybody wins in this situation, and you might possibly keep a guy from getting hosed academically instead of finding an alternative that might scare the poo poo out of him and give him the message to get his poo poo straight going forward.

And it is your concern what happens to him, because going forward you're forever going to be the guy who ratted on someone. And people in college are just as backstabbing and vindictive as people in the military. It just balances out because they aren't that way all the time like they are in the military. It's not hard to, at the very least, attempt to throw the guy a bone. at the date posted:(A) Nowhere near 99% of people cheat in college, Jesus Christ. It's not that hard to just do the drat writing yourself. And (2) even if you take the "everybody's doing it" ethical stance, the guy did put his unwitting lab partner in danger of punishment for plagiarism. They also taught about hyperbole in college. boop the snoot fucked around with this message at 18:58 on Mar 16, 2017 |

at the date posted:It won't ruin him. It might get him booted from the class at worst, but a first offense won't get him expelled. Probably nothing will happen administratively b/c the professor won't want to do all that paperwork. You're right. gently caress you got mine. Ruin the guy's grade in the class. It'll be worth it because there are no other alternatives other than to do all the work yourself anyway after you tell on the guy.

not caring here posted:You know, I get this up to a point. If you wanna try and copy off my test when you're sitting near me in an exam, whatever, you wanna run that risk good luck. You wanna set up some kind of cheating ring where half the class is cheating off each other, go nuts, I really don't care. Try and use a smart phone, fancy calculator, cheat sheet, write on your leg or hand, whatever, it's your risk, you go right ahead. I'm not gonna narc you out. Best case, you get some easy marks. Worst case, you just hosed yourself. It isn't going to affect me, or anyone else who was wasn't cheating at all (except maybe a few points on a curve grade but whatever) Let's say he got caught plagiarizing. He would be hosed as well. So if he is "trying" to gently caress him, then there is part of this story that we aren't hearing since he would effectively be loving himself as well.

drat, if the professor didn't have you sign something like that, then i imagine cheating would be allowed? or, more than likely, you just sign a piece of fluff that is already explicitly spelled out on the syllabus you get at the beginning of the semester. were i the jackass who cheated, and you threw me under the bus, i would sure as poo poo make sure it runs over you as well and bitch and moan that you knew the first assignment was plagiarized as well. i wouldn't have anything to lose at that point, so why not?

Took an accounting exam on Monday. Usually I can gauge how I did. This is the first time all semester where I will be equally surprised by an A as I would a C-. Got an auditing and business law exam today. Got a 15 minute presentation to an entire department tomorrow on Absalom, Absalom, which is one of the most difficult books I have ever read. Every semester since I got to the more difficult accounting courses I have hit a point where I feel like everything is falling apart and I might as well drop out of school.This is that week.
