    I have a friend who turned in such a good paper during grad school that the professor thought it was plagiarized (no turnitin or anything) and gave him a 0. After meeting with the teacher and straightening it out I would have felt pretty good about myself.

      It is a good feeling to do so well they assume you cheated. My HD math teacher (tiny school) made me take tests sitting next to them because I never did homework but always got an A on the tests. They assumed I was cheating.

        it’s a good feeling unless you can’t print otherwise and the teacher is an asshole.

        I had that once in highschool, so no Dean to escalate to or anything. principal took his side. the problem was, due to medical issues, i struggled to get assignments done at home. this class was 90% essays, but it was also just a history class. 100% of the material was covered in the lecture. I’m autistic and tend to remember lectures very well. so, come time for the final exam, one of the only actual in class exams, and i get nearly a perfect score. i knew the material, i just had other struggles with getting the papers done.

        he used my struggle with the rest of the class as the only proof he needed to get me expelled. i had to finish my schooling at an alternative school, which was way way better anyway and honestly wasn’t a setbacm in the end. it sure set the tone for my relation with authority though.
