How this impacts upon anyone's marks is up to the professor, not the TA's (in any academic context I've ever experienced, at least). You and your friend should take the matter to the professor, and they should hand down a decision that both/all of the TA's will follow. | |

| Jan 3, 2016 at 16:36 | comment | added | Kimball | @srugglingmate You need to check your school policies to be sure, but even if your professor reports it to the university, for a single offense, you will probably just have to have some unpleasant conversations and get a warning (in addition to failing the class). It's students who have a history of cheating that need to be dealt with more seriously. | |
| Jan 3, 2016 at 16:33 | comment | added | Kimball | @srugglingmate Unless the professor is really hands off, the professor should make the final decision. (I would never let my TAs make these kinds of decisions.) Most professors, I think, are pretty understanding for a single cheating offense, particularly if the cheater confesses and seems genuinely sorry. Stress has made most people, including professors, do one thing or another in their life they later regret. So, I can't guarantee it, but I think your situation is one in which most professors would give you a 0, but take no further disciplinary actions. | |
| Jan 3, 2016 at 11:25 | comment | added | srugglingmate | Both of us have talked to the TAs. One of them is considering to give him some marks but the other one has not given any decision yet. I am really worried. And I am going to fail this class for sure. I will take this class again next semester but will this have a huge impact on my overall life and career? | |
| Jan 3, 2016 at 11:25 | comment | added | srugglingmate | This is a class totally out of y head. Actually I am a foreigner student studying in China. So because of language problems, I have no idea about this where this class is going, but it's a class I must take. So for this project, I asked help from my friend so that I can take his material as a guide. But it was too difficult for me to work with and due to time limit, I just thought of copying it. | |
