I Hate It When They Do Things Like This
I've just found evidence that one of my students may have cheated on a quiz.
I'm not that keen on following up on this (even though I will). Were it just some anonymous student who I don't know, it would be easy. Fill out the paperwork. Report them to the Dean's office. I do this every semester.
But I know who this student is. We've had conversations about things going on outside of school. I thought he was a good kid. Now I'm wondering if he's charming and charismatic in the con man sort of way, not the good sort of way.
