Okay, so I am feeling a little guilty. I know I don't need to, but I do, all the same. I think I missed one class period this semester, two at the most. I turned in all my work on time or early.I have a friend in the class who was only there a handful of times. She has not yet turned in the last two projects. She asked me to email those two projects to her. I know she was going to turn in my work as her own, and there's a huge chance the teacher would never know since he's grading 40 page documents. I told her I'd send them, as examples, very reluctantly.
I changed them from word docs. to pdf. docs. If she tries to cut and paste she's going to work almost as hard as I did. Here's the part where I get holier than thou. I did the bloody work, so can she.
Part of me feels really evil for that.

I wouldnt feel guilty, you did the assignments...she should feel guilty she didnt do them, and she would be stealing!! Great job, YM, you should be so proud!!
I didn't even get a thank you...hahaha
She did have a lot going on, at least that's what she said...but heck, we ALL have a lot going on.
I probably would have forgotten to send them to her altogether. But I'm a bitch like that.
I was going to forget to send them, Rain, but she called to remind me.
That's what I thought too, Sili.
I still haven't received a thank you...hahaha
You are a MUCH kinder person than I. I would not have sent the projects especially if I thought she would plagiarizer my work. Participating, at any level, in plagiarism will keep you from graduating and/or get you expelled from school.
I thought of all those things too. After I changed the format to pdf. I tried to copy and paste from the document and couldn't. All she had to do was run the pertinent information through prodoc and she could have had a very similar document so I don't think it's likely she typed the whole 40 pages of the divorce decree assignment. As for the QDRO assignment, I don't know what she found so difficult about it, we had a language model to go by.
It wasn't until my last two years of college that i started going to class on a regular basis and whatdaya know, I started getting good grades! I would actually calculate how much each class session cot me by breaking down the tuition payments and writing them on my spiral for each class. Trust me. TCU's tuition made each class worth attending.
Attending class also helped me avoid situations like your classmate was in and the awkward one she put you in. Just my $.02.
Obviously college didn't learn me to spell check very well. Or capitalize.
