So this guy approached me and told me he really needs to pass and I don't know why I lost my fucking mind and let him copy all my exam. It was a university final exam. I heard that they need to have physical evidence of cheating. At the moment I thought they don't have anything but now I realized our answer sheets can be used as one. How fucked am I? If we get caught can the guy come out and say he did it without my consent?

You are totally fucked. You willingly cheated on a university exam. Pray they show leniency on you. You enabled a cheater, which skews grading curves, which makes you directly responsible. It's not just one person or one test. Yes, I know you say you "lost your mind", but you seem to be more concerned about being caught than academic honesty. Both of you should be ashamed of yourselves.

Probably very. Unless the person was very, very careful. And even then, you'd be surprised what they catch. I doubt they'd care who copied who either, half my class in one module when I was at University got failed out for colluding on a coursework.

But you gave him your consent. If you get caught you are on the hook the same as him, if your university's rules are similar to those I am familiar with.

Hope he isn't so stupid as to copy line by line, or if it's multiple choice hope he swapped an answer or two on purpose.
It goes without saying, but assuming you have the time it's better to tutor these things to people so their answer turns out different and they actually learn what they were supposed to be learning.
Helping someone like this without teaching them is useless to you and them.
Also, pray he's a bro and doesn't snitch on you after you helped them. I'm usually against the idea of a "snitch" being a bad thing but in this case that's kinda dickish. Take one for the team, damn.

I don't understand. Who is this person, just a random guy? Not a friend or something? He asked you in the middle of the test to copy?

I'm just confused why you let him copy your entire final exam.

In my days I know one guy that was automatically flunked in the course for this. They can also consider expulsion, but policies vary by university.

If he copied you 100%, you're probably boned in some way. You're an idiot for giving your answers to someone you don't even know, or even doing your best to ensure that he wouldn't copy you word for word. Really amateur move when it comes to cheating lol.

There is a reasons lawyers tell their clients to not post online about pending litigation

OP you are probably fucked if he copied it verbatim. I hope it wasn't a written exam.

Bruh. Was this dude at least your friend or just a rando in class? If the guys a moron and didn't change anything then you're probably fucked. But it also depends on how on the ball your T.A or whoever is grading your exam is.

That seems like a really important exam and really shitty reason to fuck up your future. What the hell were you thinking?

Was the final before the winter break? I can only speak for the US, but if you took the final and already have your grade and they haven't mentioned anything, it's pretty much over. Professors have already moved on to the coming semester

He copied answer-for-answer and there are only 40 people and it's multiple choice? And you didn't even charge him or anything? Dude.

It's absolutely true.

Let's say it's an especially difficult final, and even those who have a b or above are struggling, and the teacher says he is willing to curve things to an extent. Say there are a handful of cheaters, enough with very high marks to skew the curve. Benefits that the hard workers can reap become dismissed due to the cheaters.

It was an old physics teacher that first brought this to my attention.

Was it a multiple choice test or essay? How big is your class.
I mean they probably will see something's up if it's a smaller class. But whether or not they'll care enough about it is anyone's guess really.

It's multiple choice which probably gives you an out if they notice and don't have evidence but yeah you fucked up.

If it was a written exam you would be screwed if he copied answers without changing and matched everything.

They put things through plagiarism programs now and you get a percentage from what I've heard but might not be a thing in other countries and only for main projects I think.

If its multiple choice and a small class and you get caught you meed to plead ignorance or say something like "I thought he was giving me a weird look throughout the exam, I couldn't figure out what for, now I know he was squinting at my answers."

Honestly, I wouldn't even worry about it. No sense in getting concerned over something you don't have control over anymore and may end up not getting noticed.

Hopefully he's not stupid enough to copy your answers exactly.
