Grad School Cheating
thumbz555, Jan 17 2012
I'm in graduate school for physical therapy (doctor of pt program), caught an acquaintance of mine cheating on our last exam. Our faculty is very trusting (to a fault, apparently). Long story short, + Show Spoiler +
dude sits next to me for the exam and I keep seeing him looking over at my exam. I cover my sheet up. Next, he decides to sort through his backpack, looking for a pencil, 6-7 times (coincidentally, every time someone is asking our professor a question). Towards the end, he whispers to the girl in front of me (who was getting up to leave), "what'd you get for number 24?" She gives him the WTF look, he pauses, and says "just kidding..." Later, dude goes up to the front of the class to ask a question, I turn in my exam and go back to my seat. I then decided to check to see what he was looking at, I lift the flap of his backpack and see our filled out study guide (the only thing in the backpack). Mention it to my roommate, she tells me she saw him cheat on an exam earlier this term. So, 100% dude was cheating. He then has the audacity to say "easy exam" to my friend and I afterward. So what do you do?
additional background info, if u need it

70% Passes as long as your GPA is above a 3.0 cumulative. Dude is an A/B Student, If I had to estimate, I'd say he's got around a 3.6 after 2 terms. We had the same study guide, as we did it as a group, and our study guide had about 85% of the questions on the exam covered; so anyone who studied with it should be expecting about a B to a B+ on the exam. Whether you get an A or a B really doesn't matter unless you're A) trying to get into the military afterward or B) considering getting your Ph.D at some point.
update: program is competitive, clinical rotations are done by lottery, with the highest GPA's being most likely to get their top choice. Additionally, there are competitive clinical sites which require you to be in the top 5% of your class in order to apply/attend.
