I don't know if you're trying to be funny or sarcastic here, but I'm going to respectfully disagree with what you're saying.
t*p states in the very first message that she studied harder for this test that she ever had in her life for a test, and when she walked into the exam, she panicked. Maybe this is some unforseen occurrance in your life, but it does happen. Heck, it's happened to me, and I've been a "curve killer" myself in school a number of times.
Although she *may* not have seen the cheating happen for herself, that doesn't mean that (at a school with an honor code) she shouldn't report it. Another GCer has even suggested talking to the people who *did* see the cheating occur and see if they'd be willing to tell the professor what they saw. I'm sure that this cheating affected their grade as well, and someone will *likely* (I'm
not saying definitely, mind you) step up and tell the professor what they saw. Otherwise, if there is a way to anonymous report the cheating, that's another way to go, and then in that case the professor can give a pop quiz/test to see who really knows their stuff, and if the cheaters can't do well on the pop test over material they *knew* perfectly well the week before, that would definitely signal that something fishy had occurred.
This is *my* personal opinion, and flame me if you want....but this is the way I see it and would advise anyone who had information about cheating occuring (especially if they had seen it themselves or know someone who had seen it occur).
