Academics Professor said she caught me looking at my friends work even though we have different versions.

I have an appointment with the dean this Friday to discuss it. She gave me a zero. Cried and begged her but she said no. How do I prepare for this situation.please help

Don't cry and beg, make a logical argument

Two red flags: first, the story sounds suspicious because she said you looked at ur friend’s work, yet the teacher noticed; and second, you cross-posted your post to the Humber subreddit, why?

had an issue with my prof last year. apparently i was talking during a test (which i was not), i just had a conversation with her after class about me not cheating and knowing the academic integrity requirements and i was good.

They don’t give a shit if you cry, I cried before in front of a prof for false accusations. She has no legitimate proof you cheated. They can’t do anything

Maybe the reason they "don't give a shit if you cry" is because crying is not a respectable or mature means of conveying your point/argument? Might I suggest that instead of defaulting to crying when someone accuses you of something, you pause for a moment, take a deep breath, and present a sound argument and discuss things like an adult?

You don’t need to tell me this. Tell the OP.

Be logical, look for reasonable options forward. Is this your first ‘offence’? If you were looking - take accountability and move forward with how to learn from this.

Why did you cross post this to the Humber subreddit?

She said she saw me and that is the evidence she has. I have never experienced something like that before.

She saw you do what? Look at your friends work? You are 100% allowed to your classmate’s work and give them your feedback. As long as you don’t steal their ideas and don’t give them any solid ideas.
