its ok to cheat!? Brisbane, United States

Today, I got my results on a recent, important midterm. During the exam, I'd noticed my instructor had accidentally left an answers page in the test packet, so being honest, I didn't look at them. It turns out she did it on purpose to help us pass. I failed. FML

whats the point of a test if youre given the answers....unless im missing something?

I wonder what the dean/principal/program director or other appropriate authority in the school would have to say about those testing methods......

You could have at least check your answers before turning it in

I applaud you for your honesty good sir. Or madam.

Why didn't you take the page up to the teacher? Since you didn't plan on looking, you wouldn't have missed out, the teacher would have known your integrity, and you would have learned the true purpose of the answer key.

At least you didn't fail at honesty and integrity, which are more important than a test in the long run... and you should go talk to your professor about this. Perhaps she will give you a higher grade for your good morals.

At least you were honest OP.

I wonder if this OP is the same as the one who posted about their two neighbouring apartments playing LOUD music while they were trying to study.

well she didn't tell you beforehand, nice going op

I personally think you did the right thing. It sucks that everyone else got something for nothing, but at least you know you're a good person. Your teacher's an ass, probably just wanted you all to pass to make themselves out be a better teacher than they are.

For the teacher to do that, the class is either composed of idiots or it's a useless subject.
