“During the middle of the test I went to look at it and my teacher walked up to me and asked to see my hand.
“I was presenting an Italian test and there was this one word that I could never remember, so I wrote it down on the palm of my hand,” said Walker. Maria Walker, a sophomore Childhood Education major, had a very similar story to Zisk, but instead of eating the paper she was asked to sit on her one hand for the rest of the test. “I got really nervous so I ate the paper.”Īpparently, getting embarrassed for being caught cheating in high school is a common thing among students. “So I had the paper in my hand and then the professor started to walk around the classroom and suddenly she walked by me and looked at me,” Zysk said.
One day she had an important chemistry test, which she claims was really hard, therefore she wrote down the equations on a piece of paper. Zysk said that it always happened during tests or serious moments in class. Although it has happened in college, she believes that she has been embarrassed in high school more often than now. “I almost died, I could not believe I actually embarrassed myself like that.”īut for Zysk, embarrassing herself in the classroom seems to be a regular thing. “I went up there ready to give my presentation and then I realized I had mixed up the presentation with one for another class,” Zysk said. Well, this is something that did happen to Diana Zysk, a junior Business major. Picture this: You are standing in front of everyone in class to give a presentation and five minutes in you realize that what you were presenting was in fact for another class.
