Q: I’m taking online courses, and I have been charged with academic dishonesty by the professor.
He think I shared my answer with other students, because my way of solving the math problems is similar to other students way, he don’t have prove that we cheated from each other and we didn’t cheat. I explained to him why we have the same solution because we studied together and we saw a similar math problem that became in the test before taking it. But he insisted that I shared my answer. HOWEVER, he don’t have prove of that. What should I do?. For the record the class am taking is not at my university.
