Cheating has become more pervasive

<p>I remember being accused of cheating my Freshman year in college. I finished my exam, handed it to the prof and he loudly exclaimed I cheated and would receive a zero. I protested and he said to come to his office after class. </p>

<p>It turns out that he thought I was copying from another student in the next row. I got him to grade both our tests in front of me. We both got two questions wrong. Two DIFFERENT questions! Needless to say he gave a half-hearted apology and I had not cheated. Of course he said nothing to the class after publicly accusing me of cheating but it was a small school so everyone knew what happened quickly. </p>

<p>I was looking in this girl’s direction several times during the test. She happened to be sitting just ahead of me. Why was I looking at her? I thought she was amazing looking and had a crush on her. We ended up dating for a few months. </p>

<p>I did learn my lesson about keeping my hormones under control during an exam though!</p>
