actually, its not that important, with grade inflation being what it is. cheating speaks to character, of course, but you seem to be getting that under control.

Hi, what do you mean, do you mind explaining?

God Bless

I’m not going to tell you that cheating isn’t serious. But having cheated on one issue in one class doesn’t have that much impact on your total Grade Point Average - does it?

If you hadn’t done the infraction that you claim - what impact do you think it would have had on the final grade for that class - and for your overall GPA?

If you feel it is material - then try to spend some time relearning the material that you feel you missed. But you can’t spend the rest of your life worrying about an issue that is, in all likelihood, immaterial.

Hey, my overall grade would be the same, in my eyes, and my action, in my opinion has bought me almost no advantage, none at all (very, very most likely).

it means that grades aren’t a good *indicia *of knowledge or mastery of the subject (at least in college), because of how easy it is to get As. this happens for a lot of reasons that aren’t topical to the thread. but as an employer, an “A” doesn’t mean anything to me because of this.

To what level would you say, GCSE, A Levels? Oh and what did you mean about getting it under control?
Thanks

God Bless

my apologies. I assumed you were in the US. if you’re interested in grade inflation at the collegiate level, I can refer you to some articles that explain it.

re character: that was a compliment.

Yes please. No worries, I still don’t understand what you meant by that compliment :o

cheating is a defect of character. it looks like you’re well on your way to fixing that defect.

Oh I see, Thank you very much =).

Would you say, in your opinion, I deserved those grades?

God Bless

edited my final post to add a link. you might want to read that, and based on that article, its really impossible to say, more impossible to say if they meant anything.

In my opinion, you are too concerned about what you “deserve”. In the long run, I don’t think it particularly matters what you deserve (in this case). What matters is whether you have the skill set and knowledge that your grades indicate. If you have that high level of knowledge, I think you should stop worrying. If you don’t have it, then you should work on getting it. And then you should stop worrying.
