<p>I am a nursing student at a competitive university, which is well known for their difficult nursing program. I am a straight A student but unfortunately I failed my first OB exam (75%), even though I studied very hard for several days. The teacher posted grades 8 hours after the exam (usually teachers take several days because they do a test analysis), and the scores were not adjusted and no questions were thrown out. The next day I found out that many people received high A’s (including 100%) because a “study guide” is circulating via email. The “study guide” contains questions and answers from old exams for each of the exams we have to take for this semester. The nursing policy for exams is supposed to be very secure (exams are never returned to students, a student can only review an exam before the next scheduled exam and only in front of the instructor, no cell phones near the exam, etc). The teacher uses the same set of questions for her exams and only makes one test version. I am debating whether or not to report the cheating. Many people cheated on the first exam, and the email has now reached almost every student in the class. So now the receivers know all the questions and answers for the remaining 3 exams. If I do not report it, and the email is sent to me, then could I get in trouble for cheating if the email is revealed by someone later in the semester? I am also wondering if it is possible to get in trouble for knowing cheating is going on and not reporting it. What would you do? Report it (morally and ethically the right thing to do) and risk being the snitch? Or not report it, struggle to pass the class, while everyone else makes A’s because they have the answers?</p>
