When I was an adjunct professor at a community college, I had a student who didn’t even bother to hide his cheating. During the test he would get up and stand over the smartest student in the class, read his answers, then go back to his own desk and write what he remembered onto his own test. He was shocked and angered when I took his test, kicked him out, and flunked him.
Then I got pushback from the Department Head. Told I had no right to do what I did, and that I had no proof that the kid cheated. Wouldn’t change his mind even after nearly every other kid in that class went to his office to testify about the cheating. I was told that the kid would not appear in my class for the rest of the term, but at the end he would be given a “B” for the course.
Apparently the kid’s father pulled some weight in the community… I refused to sign up to teach any more classes there after that… with Daddy’s clout I might not have been allowed back anyway…
I was forced to associate with a fellow student with a similar name to mine in university. He also copied work openly, and admitted that he was only doing his degree for money. In later years he was well-known by colleagues for overcharging, partly to pay for his expensive imported cars, one supposes. Still, none of us are perfect.

If you can’t figure out how to cheat in school, you must be a dummy.

My fear is that I’m cheating off another cheater. Need another book “How to Spot a Cheater for Dummies “
