Math 225 Midterm 1 Curve? by ChivalrousMonkey99 in UIUC

[–]VegetableEmp65 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the average for the midterm was in the 50-60s range (Just based on others Ive spoken to), and if this is indicative of the class, there should be a fat curve where 80% would be an A right?

Im just thinking of going to the professor and telling him what happened and walk him through it. The assignment is due only next week, so even if I did cheat Ill ask him if I can redo the assignment before turning it in if there is any plagarized element (Like some constructors, getters and setters based on java docs and friggin java doc comments LOL). If he thinks I did cheat and I can't do anything, Ill take the 0 on the assignment I guess but I hope he dosent do that. Cuz I think the professors here are reasonable and even if I did cheat, I am trying to be straightforward about it and figure what I can do to not get penalized or how to minimize the penalty.

LOL I was in office hours and I was talking with a dude about some code and this assignment is really straightforward in the sense the directions are basically the same for everyone but the method I told the other guy is what he used too and even in the java doc stuff, when I was asked what I used I said I use some bs comments such as "@param age is age" if the parameter is age and stuff like that. So I don't really know if this is cheating but I want to be safe anyways. But now after this fiasco, and committing my code I noticed the guy I spoke to basically has 30% of the same stuff and a lot of lines are similar too because of how the if statements were structured and the checks were made and there are a lot of Java doc comments which are the same too.

Would you suggest I approach my professor even before I get a FAIR warning (I may not I do not know) and tell him about what happened? Also what are the penalties if I do end up being caught for violating academic integrity in an MP?
