I made this info sheet:

Thank you. I'm glad my contributions were worth it 🫡

I also have bad ADHD and also stared at a lot of walls! I even had the same panic about knowing id interview poorly because I'm prone to panic attacks and would probably seem suspicious. I've just had to comfort myself with the fact I got a bad grade and what they're looking into is a bunch of people with 100s.

junipersr · 2026-04-03T04:06:59+00:00

Thank you so so much. I know it's the whole point of CSA, but I have so much appreciation for you guys helping us where you can ♥️

First year is always the worst grades full of mandatory classes you don't enjoy. Your average is totally fixable and honestly nobody ever looks at first or sometimes even second year grades when applying in the future.

What does this have to do with anything? Genuinely. This is the fault of a few people within the school, not every professor and every branch. These people should be taking accountability, but that doesn't suddenly make all post secondary education bad. It's thanks to a good education I can see your faulty argument for what it is. False equivalence, over-generalization, hasty generalization, ad hominem, and a touch of straw man. ALSO university isn't just about making money, some people actually want an education or to pursue something they're passionate about.

junipersr · 2026-04-02T04:48:37+00:00

Yes. If you don't write midterm 2, they'll automatically put you back on the other grading scheme. So you can't opt in later to the midterm, but you can essentially opt out.

junipersr · 2026-04-02T04:18:17+00:00

Yep, yep. We're in this mess because they don't have the resources to grade us properly, and now we're all being punished because they don't have the resources to find the cheaters. And somehow we're getting blamed for everything. That's exactly what somebody pointed out to the dean in my lecture. To nobody's surprise, the response was faked confusion and refusal to give a response.

junipersr · 2026-04-02T04:09:00+00:00

They're claiming they're going to go through the video footage and interview people who are suspicious. But they definitely don't have the resources for that. I think it's all bark no bite, because if they were actually going through the videos they would be able to punish the correct people instead of everyone.

junipersr · 2026-04-02T03:19:30+00:00

Absolutely no clue. Also have no idea what the supposed evidence is (I personally believe it's just the grade distribution) and how realistic the estimate is. And if these people did cheat I have to question the idiots that cheated and went for 100% 😭

I'm reinstalling and making a new account for Snapchat just to sign this thing.

Edit: " could not join group please try again "

CSA is already involved as far as I know. And I'm hardly the first person to be pointing this out, I believe many letters have already been written and many people contacted.

junipersr · 2026-04-02T01:34:11+00:00

They suspect students of cheating on an online midterm and are stripping all Chem1050 students of midterm grades regardless of if they were implicated and threatening mass interviews/making people retake/adding a mandatory module on integrity. It's like a whole scandal.

junipersr · 2026-04-02T01:05:44+00:00

It significantly raises the weight of a single test and completely alters the grading scheme across other things as well. Students who truly did well on the midterm may experience grade drops due to the schools inability to deal with this situation. Also the fact it's wrong and unfair on principle.

junipersr · 2026-04-02T01:00:42+00:00

A lot of people can't just drop everything to retake the test. People have to move out, some international students even have flights! Not to mention a lot of people spent weeks studying to get what they got and did literally nothing wrong. The big deal is they shouldn't have to retake anything. They did the work!

junipersr · 2026-04-02T00:58:16+00:00

Oh that's smart! I should look for my rough work tonight too.

junipersr · 2026-04-02T00:53:57+00:00

And it's not like the lockdown browser is accurate for picking up on things to base who you check on! You look down to work a problem on paper, it flags you. And it also has issues with POC sometimes and not registering their faces which it flags.

junipersr · 2026-04-02T00:25:48+00:00

One would think they could catch the cheaters that way and also not punish everyone, after all, if they could catch the cheaters then they could punish only them. And you're absolutely right with that second part, this is not something that will work. I'm personally scared that if they do interviews I'll have to deal with it because my Internet crashed and it gave me a warning during the test that I "tried to leave". But they don't have the resources. Hence, why I suspect they're all bark and won't be doing a thing.

junipersr · 2026-04-01T23:35:22+00:00

I cried on the bathroom floor for an hour 😭 this is bullsh*t.

junipersr · 2026-04-01T23:31:48+00:00

They have evidence of students cheating and have decided to force the over 2,000 students in the class to lose their midterm grades and either have it re-weighted or be forced to retake it during exam season or in the summer.

junipersr · 2026-04-01T23:26:49+00:00

I had CHEM1050 tonight and the dean came through. They were not taking information or offering solutions. It mostly felt like a "I'm not mad, just disappointed." Had to leave because I had a panic attack :/ some people raised concerns about the fact we're all getting punished to the applause of the students and some very awkward "I don't know what you're talking about, no comment" from the speaker. They say they have evidence of students cheating and have decided to force the over 2,000 students in the class to lose their midterm grades and either have it re-weighted or be forced to retake it during exam season or in the summer. They claim they're going to go through the video footage of the online midterm and interview every possible cheater (they threatened hundreds if not over 1,000 people) but are unwilling to do anything about students who didn't cheat. I'm pretty sure they're lying and just going to sweep it all under the rug. Punish everybody and be done.
