Tip of the day, don’t cheat in exams

Dr House · 15 Jun 2011 at 20:45

So I just found out that one of my acquaintances who I was in university (year under me) with just got kicked out for cheating in one of his exams.

That’s 7 years he spent in medical school just to get the boot 1 month before he was due to graduate

He must be absolutely gutted!

Nah, tip of the day - don't get caught!

7 years and all for nothing? Time for a nice jump off the nearest bridge.

how did he get through 7 years and only now start or get busted for cheating? if he'd been at it for years, surely he'd have been caught out before now?

LOL or that, it was only a bloody statistics and epidemiology exams so not even that hard :confused:

I doubt after 7 years of medical education that'll be the lot for him...

If it was I think I'd kill myself! :eek:

I'm glad he isn't my GP.

To be honest I would really think of doing that if it happened to me and I was not married.

No idea, maybe maths was just not his thing :confused:

There is nothing he can do, its in the school rules they had a full disciplinary hearing and everything.

He could still do nursing though right?

No, he would have to do what ever course is required to be a nurse.

Also Its a little hard to explain to another university why you did not finish the last course.

can he repeat the year? even at a different school.
as its a shame to lose 7 years of study.
but he must be gutted

Jesus man. I'd be livid, oh wait no, I wouldn't cheat!

Sorry, I was being sarcastic.

That's really quite tragic.

no I dont think any other university would let him in, I know in Czech they do not take transfer students after the end of 3rd year so he may be able to go back to the start of the 4th year in another school.

The course is 6 years long including FY1 year but you can take it in 7 if you want to.

had he been cheating throughout or just that one time?

Cosimo · 15 Jun 2011 at 21:25

I can't imagine how he must be feeling. What a stupid thing to do.

RomanNose · 15 Jun 2011 at 21:28

What a idiot, I have heard of people cheating in exams that I have been it but never seen it happen.

Shayper · 15 Jun 2011 at 21:31

Jeez... That must be guttering... Teach him a lesson though.

Dunks · 15 Jun 2011 at 21:40

Christ, that must be soul destroying.

kEn_sct · 15 Jun 2011 at 21:44

don't have much sympathy really. idiot for cheating in the first place... and how many times has he got away with it?!?! he wouldn't make a good doctor, in fact probably end up killing someone
