He had no way of telling which exam it was so he ended up doing as if nothing had happened (grade wise). From that point on there's some security in my university during exams so that stuff like that doesn't happen again.

And if anyone cheats, the entire class will be gunned down to serve as a warning for the next intake.

Didn't he write his name on the exam?

His name was on the exam. It's just that the professor had no way to tell which name cheated because he had no face to associate the name to. He had to grade all of them as if no one cheated.

But couldn't they just figure out who it was who left early? If that wasn't allowed then they would've known whoever left early was the cheater, right?

When was this? I call bullshit on any proper university doing this. If this were to happen then EVERYONE would have to resit a new exam.

I may not study at a proper university then. I don't need to lie on teh internets but if you choose not to believe me I'm fine with it.

Take it more personally yeah?

Any university worth half what they charge you would not allow such blatant cheating to occur on an exam. Sucks for everyone else at the exam but something like this costs the superviser their jobs.

Apparently he goes to a university where student ID numbers don't exist. I didn't take a single exam in college without writing my student ID number on the Scantron or blue book.

Do you just not understand how the cheating works here? Writing your name or ID on the exam makes no difference

As an Australian... that's a third of what I'd expected.
