[This past semester] I took Dr. Williger's Astronomy (Phys) 107
class. I struggled in this class due to my own lack of effort and
interest in this course. When it came time to the final exam, which
was transformed into a large cumulative project, I decided to work
with a friend who was also taking the class. He and I decided to do
the entire project together which included choosing the problems we
both thought were easier, Facetiming and working them out together,
and then typing our conclusions and responses together. Dr. Williger
noticed how similar our work was and had a conversation with the both
of us. I inevitably failed this course and have to retake it in the
coming semesters. If I would have gone to Dr. Williger and asked for
help or received help from tutors all along, this problem could have
easily been avoided. Cheating or working together on a final exam or
any individual work results in more serious consequences after high
school. My F in this class not only forces me to retake the course but
cost me money and time. This incident was noted and is on record with
the University. If this were to happen again, my consequences will be
far worse. I highly recommend speaking to the professor or seeking
help from tutors throughout this course to avoid any issues like
mine. He is a very understanding teacher who only wants to educate and
see students succeed.
