Funny thing happened to me at school today! And I go to school online!  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 71/100. sharone74 (2521)   ranked 1 out of 1 in i am currently enrolled in an online college studying for my aa degree in information technology 6 years ago

I was trying to get a "jump" on a peer review paper that I have to provide constructive critisim and offer advice regarding the Research paper that is due next week Sunday the 14th and is worth 25% of our total class grade. This is my second quaterly class rotation and so I am still a little new to this whole continuing education dynamic. Thus I am rather shaky confidence wise and intimidated as well as invigorated and innervated by the grades that I have recieved in my first 4 classes thus far toward my Associates degree for an IT course of study.

The reason that I lack confidence in myself and my educational abilities despite having a solid B average (3.17 GPA and climbing in fact) is that this is my bid to join the mainstream, becoming an college educated and sought after member of the workforce is a horserace that I have already won the double dumbass award for and depending on how you look at it the "Triple Crown Dipshits Cup is mine to win" or Spin again for a shot at a better brighter future in every face.

See I dropped out of high school and the jumpstart college classes for high school credit program when I was 14 years old to get married and give birth to my eldest daughter. Delivered the blow to my prospects at a high school diploma and the dream of acheiving the first college degree in my family 1 month and 6 days after my 15th birthday. I deluded myself into taking another shot at earning a college degree when I was 19 and a mother of two kids ages 3 and newborn when I hamstrung my own dreams again by getting pregnant a 3rd time. Now battle weary and not quite trusting the sabateur who lives inside my skin at the ripe old age of 32 I am trying to complete my degree before my daughter graduates from highe school and moves in with me to start her own collegiate career.

Going to an online University requires that you get some interraction with your classmates as you must throw your two cents in 6 to 9 times minimum in the class forums in order to attain your attendance and participation. Well right before the holiday break she was aping my responses to the required postings fairly closely. Well I wanted to know so I started chatting her up to feel her out and the next thing I know I got her peer rev first draft project in my email box and my God her project is a mismash of plagarism, drug dreams, and is even in three diferent formats and typesets. So now it is my responsibility I guess to rat her out to the teacher but its either my butt or hers and I don't want it to end up being mine

Well .. You gotta just play it straight... I'd post my report and send her a copy, out of "courtesy".

I wouldn't warn her first, in case she was able to further stitch me up and make it look like I had a motive to diss her.

Don't let it get complicated. You deserve your grades, she deserves hers.
It is not kindergarden.

Man, that's a tough decision.
I think it will look bad on you if you don't report it tho, if it is your responsibility to review this person's work and you don't report it, it could inevitably (sp?) effect your own grade.
In situations like these, it's every student for themself...just like in corporate business...
