Ok, there's a lot of debate and opinion over this one.
School world aside.... If I found that one of my co-workers was being unethical to the point where the company as endangered, I'd first approach him about it and give him the option to turn himself in. If he didn't, I would voice my concerns. If that sees me as a tattletale, so be it. But I'm committed to my workplace and doing the right thing. Why should we all go down while one person benefits from being unscrupulous? So you tell me, is it better to save the many at the expense of the liar? I think yes.
I think college places us in situations we're going to face in the working world. Yes, we're going to screw up in the real world, but thankfully the grading scale in life is a little more lenient to give us that 90% when maybe we really only earned an 89, because of all the other things we do to make our work meaningful and the best. There's no standardized test for life.
Texas*P, you bombed a test. Talk to your prof. Show him how hard you worked and ask him what you can do to bring up your grade. If he doesn't show leniency, at least you tried. Rules evolve and change, and they do so because people speak up. If you say nothing, then you've learned nothing.
Next, send a letter to the dean and cc the professor about the cheating. I agree, that in order to avoid getting a million dissidents from tp'ing your car and home, should remain anonymous. Cheaters are also notoriously immature.
/End rant.
