So, I’ve never had an academic misconduct or warning for anything from uni before, and I’ve passed all my assessments till now. However, for one of my assessments, I believed the mark was a little unfair, and so I had a meeting with the course lead to discuss it, and I have a habit of recording all meetings.
So basically, before the meeting I forgot to ask for the their consent, and they found out I was recording, and told me to leave as the meeting was over, and they got really mad at me.
But I apologised, and so they continued the meeting and by the end they were pretty calm about it and talking very nicely and calmly.
However, later I received an email with from a different staff member with whom I had a chat about the assessment earlier in the day, and they asked if I had recorded the chat, and I let them know that I hadn’t. However I did tell them that I had attempted to record the meeting with the course lead as
I had completely forgotten about taking consent, and so had stopped and deleted the recording as soon as I was reminded.
They replied and said thank you for the confirmation, and while the course lead was nice as well, I’m scared that I might get into trouble.
Also, I am the student representative and part of the student society committee for my year, and will most probably apply for president of the committee next year, and I’m scared this will ruin my chances or make my university experience more difficult
I’m not too sure whether I should be concerned or if I’m making a big deal out of this when it’s not that bad
