Dishonest people deserve to get screwed. Fuck them--people like that make the world shittier for everyone else. I hope he gets kicked out of school for this shit, we don't need another turd like that in the work force.

Major potential to take the job that someone who is hard working but didn't have to dive to cheating would get, too. That'd be pretty sad.

Beyond that, they're the reason we have shit like Exam Soft.

This person in my LRW section confessed to friends about having an attorney relative read and correct her assignments. So I can understand the rage (our LRW is graded/curved), but even with this that does have a tangible effect on my grade I didn't report him/her or anything. I just hope that eventually their lack of writing skills bites them in the ass.

Seriously. Nothing worse than an untrustworthy cheater.

Damn, I absolutely would've reported them.

Shit, I didn't even let my mother read my stuff until after I got a grade.

I don't care about cheaters because of their effect on my grade. Just one person after all. I care about cheaters because they're a cancer that can turn a healthy community to shit. It's antisocial behavior.

This. My 2L class went through 1L with no known cheaters or evil people. Now, we all trust each other. It is a dynamic that makes life much easier.

Gotta get them evil doers.

you can't be serious. I you are, you sound like a psychopath

That's actually a fair assessment. Take this thread, for example. People with no connection to this incident are tripping balls right now.

A couple things, because this is getting out of control:

a) Now I kinda regret adding to this thread and airing our dirty laundry out for the world to see. But I'll just throw out there that 90%+ of the posts in this thread do not come from Duke students.

b) Whatever is gonna happen to OP has probably already happened. It's possible that an anon Duke student has reported this; again, I haven't, and none of the Duke TLSers I know have. But if someone has, OP deserves whatever he gets. Otherwise, I'm sure OP was shitting a brick as all of this was going down yesterday, and I wouldn't be surprised if this affects his performance on the next final. And, hell, he never actually got any help or feedback with his exam. So whatever happens from here is fine. And if nothing happens, that's fine, too.

c) Outing people (or coming dangerously close to outing people) is pretty shitty for an anonymous forum that everyone can see. And the dude you guys were talking about earlier is in the wrong section, and is too ethical/on top of his shit to pull an OP. We know which section OP is in, and we know which exam he was trying to cheat on. Speculation was fun for a little while, but if you're gonna go that far, just leave it to the Duke administration.

oh hai ATL

It's hit ATL.

This. thread. delivered.

Congratulations! your first post here is in a legendary thread.

Holy shit. And we thought this kid was sweating it out yesterday? He will probably have a heart attack now. There is no way those in charge at Duke will not know about this now. Whether they decide to do anything or not is debatable, but they for sure know about it and have a decision to make.

At the end of the day, I'm thinking the second poster ITT saved his ass by sniping him before a legit response was posted.

Hah, maybe give his entire class a pass/fail grade if they can't figure it out.

Eh, I think it's pretty clear OP got no benefit from, and was actually harmed by, his silliness.

Not a psychopath, just less willing to put up with that kind of "I'm a special flower that doesn't have to play by the rules" bullshit the older I get. I'm not even being dramatic when I say that cheaters are how shit like Enron happens. One bad apple spoils the bunch.

xo, atl... what next! i am ready for huffington post or ny times. i will tell my grandkids to look for my dog tar in this great piece of history.
