I almost kinda involuntarily cheated and almost got flunked out of college. Comp sci major, forced to do a partner programming assignment. Met up with the dude and banged out like 75% of the project in the first meeting. After that, he kept dodging and rescheduling and giving excuses yadda yadda why he couldn’t meet up. Finally, just before the deadline, he says he’ll finish and submit it. I reluctantly agree (mostly because I was over a barrel at this point). The dumbass submitted his buddy’s version from the previous semester and it got flagged as a 99% match. We both had to face an academic dishonesty committee and plea our cases. Thankfully he fessed up (and I showed chat transcripts and screen shots) and he got an F in the class and a suspension of some kind. I think the prof actually kinda took pity on me because I was supposed to get a zero on the assignment, but I was a pretty crappy student anyway and that would’ve tanked my whole grade, so I think she just averaged my grades or something and I got a C+ overall.
