re: Know anyone who was caught cheating on college exam? LSU or elsewhere.

Yes. Three of my classmates got caught on a quiz - punishment was single letter grade reduction of their final grade. I don't think there was definitive proof, only very strong circumstantial evidence. Context - it's a graduate program with a mix of traditional and non-traditional students. Had it been a more significant event (test) outcome probably different, but who knows.

I cheated on a portion of one exam in my life.

Differential equations class… the first 3-4 questions on the exams were multiple choice. Some involved matrices. I couldn’t help but see the test of guy next to me (who I thought was a really smart guy based on his questions and Professor interactions in class). Exams questions for everyone were all the same, and he had like 3 of 4 different answers than me on the opening multiple choice questions.

I felt I was under prepared for that portion of exam so I changed my answers. When the grades came back, I missed all the ones that I changed my answer on.

I was “cheating” off a dummy. Learned my lesson with quickness after that. Still ended up making an A in the class anyway at the end of semester.

It’s a lesson for the kids… cheating doesn’t pay

Yes, southern law school. I never saw the girl again afterwards. She was a strange brew. I assumed she was on meth.

Exam, no. I was accused of copying homework answers from Chegg one time so I got half credit. I had to go to the professor's office and show him where I had been doing a ton of scratch calculations on another sheet to eventually get the nice, neat solution that I turned in to get my points back.

A guy in I had an accounting class with in my last semester (also his last semester) at LSU got caught cheating on some in class quizzes and didn't graduate a couple weeks later. I'm not exactly sure what the punishment was though.

a lot of people cheat

My daughter submits her homework at the last minute so classmates do not copy her work.

I remember a dude cheated off of me in a physics final. I didn't rat him out. I dropped out that year and went to work as a fitter. A year or two later I ran in to him at the office trailer. He was a field engineer sitting in the AC while I was busting arse in the pipe racks. That really peeved me.

Learned pretty quickly that there's a solid chance that the person next to you doesn't know the material any better than you.

There should have been gigantic red flags going off in your brain if you had an Asian kid in your remedial math class.

when i was in high school i wrote a paper on the crucible and posted it on the OT for peer review (i was 15 or 16 give me a break )

my teacher must have googled a sentence and had the whole post pop up. she failed me for plagiarizing my own paper. i didn't realize what had happened until after i graduated
