Case Analysis 3 MR X

1) Mr. X is a graduating student who had an exam in math the following day but planned to party with friends instead of studying as usual. 2) During the exam, Mr. X's teacher caught him cheating by using a "kodigo", or cheat sheet, despite his claims that he was just reading notes. 3) The analysis recommends that Mr. X admit to using the kodigo and face any sanctions from his teacher, as destroying evidence or dropping the course would be dishonest actions that fail to take responsibility for his misdeed.

The Case

Mr. X is a graduating student. He is aware that he has an exam in math the

following day. Yet he plans to the usual: Partying all night long with his friends. Mr. X is

a born partygoer; he never liked the idea of studying. He is also a born cheat, surviving

all the difficult examinations by cheating.

“We don’t need to review! Look bro, I’m about to graduate without having to study

anything since first year!” he boasted to his friends when they told him that they needed

to prepare for their math exam. True to his words, Mr. X didn’t review even if his friends

did. He instead prepared a kodigo. “Cheating is bad if you’re caught, Mr. X thought,

“That is, if my teacher can catch me.” The following day his calss took the exam. And he

did as expected. His kodigo was helping him well, too well that he did not notice his

teacher approaching him from the back. Mr. X was caught cheating. “Sir, I’m not

cheating, I’m just reading my notes,” the teary-eyed Mr. X would later explain.

Case Analysis

Mr. X Caught Cheating

I. Problem
Cheating in an exam to escape obligations to study
II. Case Facts

 Mr. X, a self-proclaimed party goer, does not have a habit of reviewing.

 He cheated his way to passing his past exams and partied all night

despite having an exam the following day.


 As usual, he prepared a kodigo and was caught by the teacher using the

same.

III. Alternative Course of Action

ACA 1 – Admit using the kodigo as it is and face sanctions


Liability for misdeeds and facing the same is the most credent thing

to do when faced in a situation that involves dishonesty and failure to act

with integrity.

ACA 2 – Destroy the kodigo as evidence and deny the whole act
The investigation against Mr. X will most likely be against his favour

if the kodigo will be placed in the hands of the teacher. Mr. X now has the

option to destroy the kodigo to avoid any tangible proof and deny the act

altogether.

ACA 3 – Drop the course and retake the same


In cases where the perpetrator is caught and admits liability, to

escape any major impact in his grades, he may opt to drop the subject

and retake the same next semester for a clean slate.

IV. Recommendation

ACA 1 - Admit using the kodigo as it is and face sanctions

While cheating in an exam is a common ground for failing the class because of

its utter disregard of the principles of honesty and integrity, all is not too late for Mr. X.

He may humble himself and admit his mistake, face any sanctions that the teacher

may impose upon him no matter how harsh it may seem, and vow that he will never

commit the same act again.


V. Conclusion

Students are expected to observe the minimum standards of integrity and

honesty when going through their studies. While it is very easy and convenient to

resort to means that are not right and morally correct like cheating, it is incumbent

upon the students to discipline themselves to make sure that they conduct their

studies in a manner that aligns with the principles of truth and fairness.
