Fellow pre-med is asking me to help him cheat on a midterm

jeudi 12 novembre 2015

A (very obnoxious) pre-med student in my psych class had a scheduling conflict with our midterm, so the professor generously - although somewhat naively - allowed him to reschedule it for a few days later. We took the exam a couple days ago, and he's just texted me asking me to tell him about particularly tricky questions and specific things on the exam worth studying.

I'm of course not going to help him cheat by giving him any information about the exam. However, I really respect the professor, and we've grown relatively close as she has been incredibly supportive of me, so I'm wondering if I should let her know that he's taking advantage of her and not being ethical about this situation. I don't want to be a snitch (although that's just my pride getting in the way of what I feel is right to do), but I feel like my loyalties should lie with her, I don't want her to continue to be taken advantage of like this in subsequent semesters (she's very kind and sweet, but much too trusting), I don't want my fellow classmates' grades to be hurt by him affecting the curve (and I'm extremely happy with my score on the test by the way, so no, this is not me gunning for a better grade), and I certainly do not want dishonest and unethical pre-meds becoming dishonest and unethical physicians as colleagues a few years down the road.

Any thoughts or advice on this situation?

Also going to call in the big guns: @LizzyM @Goro @gyngyn
