My ex-boyfriend helped me do my coursework!

Thanks for replying ... under what circumstances would jail come into play? The University charges for a service i.e. sells knowledge and then based on certain inputs from students tells them how well they understood that knowledge and assess their capacity to create knowledge i.e degree ... I pay for that service but violate the terms of use, service denied, where's the legal case?

I sent screenshots of this thread to Cambridge University. I’m sure (if they want to look into it, I’m 98% sure they will want too). They will eventually find out who did it.

I hate cheaters. You deserve everything you get.

One day, eventually you will get your karma. I hope your masters is revoked.

I have no sympathy for you.

I dont believe I mentioned jail?.

I did say theres a good chance you are just a wind up as is quite common for TSR.

If you are indeed a Cambridge graduate, then you can use google. I would think an 8 year old can see what you claim to have done is wrong. If he does tell them then you have big problems, but so would he.

Thanks again, I'm intrigued. How would he have problems? He doesn't live in the UK. Has nothing to do with the UK university system, works independently. He just has to provide the proof and disappear. I on the other hand stand to lose a lot as everything after university is pretty much tied to my credentials so I can see the knock on effect. Anyone reading this thread should understand that taking help, of any kind can get one in trouble. Yes, I went overboard and ran with it. My mistake and I will pay the price. Might even voluntarily just give up the degree ..

Snide, unsympathetic. Get lost, Ishax. This person has made a really dishonest time in their Uni, but what's it to you? This site is to help people not matter how huge their errors, not to hound them out.

She hasn’t accepted her mistakes though.

She’s trying to make excuses for her actions. If she accepted her mistake and wanted to rectify it, then it would be a different scenario.

I don’t want to help out a cheater who can’t realise her mistake. You’re free to help her out.

You're not obligated to help her, but you have no right to take matters into your own hands and act like the TSR police.

You are doing a great job at being unhelpful.

I'm in a bit of a fix and trying to figure out if I'm in real trouble. I was in a relationship while studying for my masters at Cambridge University. My start wasn't going too good as I am an international student and was overwhelmed by the University's curriculum as English isn't my first language.

He helped me with the English assessment and did the online test for me. Once I got to University, he helped redraft my post for discussion boards and talked me through engaging in a discussion. He also wrote a few of my assignments, a few meaning three. For things he couldn't help with, he hired ghost writing services to complete my assignment. We did use the submissions but also changed a lot of context to make it relevant. We're broken up now and he once mentioned he will send the emails to the university.

My question is, will the university take him seriously since I've already graduated? Do universities entertain complaints of plagiarism for students that graduated 5 years ago?

I am working with a Fortune 500 company now, wondering if that can affect my employment. Will I lose my degree? Can Cambridge University revoke my degree? Do I need a lawyer? or just expect the worst an pray nothing happens?

I know I did something wrong and I have corrected a lot of my mistakes. This has me troubled and I'm wondering if its better to come forward or just keep wondering?

Any advice would be appreciated, for that want to tell me how wrong this is, I know it is but I've done it already. Just struggling with owning up or letting it go.

I don't think anyone goes to jail for cheating. Not at University anyway, because you pay for it. You can get denied degree but jail would require that I scammed someone. Here, I scammed myself. Which is bad enough I think.

Really depends what you've done with that fraudulent qualification.

If I was in your shoes, I'd probably ignore the threat from the ex as I wouldn't want to risk stirring up more angry feelings that would lead him to actually send those emails. I'd also stop pretending to have a qualification I hadn't earned starting now; if he does decide to drop you in it, it'll look far better if you can say 'I realised the error of my ways independently and stopped using the qualification on my CV' than if you carry on using it up until you're caught.
