Oct 26, 2022 at 14:03 comment added Rick Henderson Many would see reporting academic misconduct as the right thing to do, not "ratting out". If you see someone steal something and you can recognize or describe them, is reporting the theft "ratting out"?
Jul 7, 2018 at 2:44 comment added Tim @Karl I would hope that an accusation of cheating would be at least investigated; likely OP would be interviewed
Jul 5, 2018 at 22:54 comment added Karl Some other student might tell the prof that the exam has leaked (so far so good), and then denunciate (without proof or even any knowledge) a few of his colleagues? Really? That'd be as despicable as, hopefully, inconsequential. Unless your university has a Committee of Public Safety. ;-)
Jul 5, 2018 at 22:41 comment added Dan Romik @Karl one of the other students who saw the photo can be similarly troubled and tell the professor, mentioning OP's name among others. And I don't understand your last sentence - where did I claim that fear of punishment is an ethical compass?
Jul 5, 2018 at 21:46 comment added Karl How should this get you into trouble? Everybody who has more than 80% correct answers gets zero points? Your conclusion is of course right, but fear of punishment is not a reliable ethical compass.
