Cheating on tests. Re-using work from a previous semester. Students getting around your restrictions for their note sheets. What do these things have in common? They are all stories that Ben found them on reddit. Yes, you heard that right. Following a popular(?) YouTube trend where folks read out stories about petty revenge or confess how they 'fricked' up, Ben delves into the professor side of reddit to find stories that make Amanda go “Wow” and “Oh my god.” There is a whole reddit thread, r/professors, housing over 60,000 faculty who write in for advice or just to vent.  Ben curated just a few stories, so let’s see what there is to explore. This was such a fun time, that we will probably do this again!
