Ok, ya it was dumb, but no one cheated but he wanted to "protect the integrity" of the process.
I freaked out bc it was going to kill my gpa to the point where it may bring me lower to what's allowed (so i would get kicked out of law school) so I called him and I told him that the bigger result would be that I get kicked out but he said that you'll be fine and he hinted in checking my academic standing before giving me my grade but if that changes to give him a call and we'd talk about it.
I wish I could do better in school. Law school is so confusing. You see these kids who totally freeload, don't read a page, cram the night before, and do well. You study your butt off, do everything right, and don't do nearly as well. Honestly, where would the motivation be to try doing well? Am I just dumb? I can't be dumb, so many people think I'm smart. I graduated in the IB program in high school, graduated college with a 3.5 (mom said it's not all that impressive, ok, it's not straight A's but sheesh, way to be hard?)
Some people are so smart masha'Allah. Maybe I underestimate myself. I probably do.

You are smart, mA
. Teachers/professors are sometimes evil because some students try to get away with bloody murder. I always said that if ever decided to become a college professor (that's only going happen if I can get this elementary school teacher thing going, iA), I wouldn't let my students get away with half the bull**** crap my classmates got away with. I can also understand why your professor wanted to "protect the integrity of the process". Its a final exam and although you did not cheat, that doesn't mean the person that handed in your work didn't think about cheating or revising their answers based off of your test. And what if that did happen? You'd be pretty much screwed especially since the professor reneged on allowing someone else to turn in your work. My best friend was about to be kicked out of school because she asked someone else to print out an assignment and hand it in for her. The other student decided to copy and paste my friend's work onto her own assignment. My friend's answer was wrong. The professor noticed they both had the same mistake in the same spot and it was something really simple like a number transposed like 52 instead of 25, but it affected the rest of the answer, which was ultimately wrong.
Alhumdulillah that your professor is willing to talk to you before submitting a final grade. A lot of professors are just eff-it or whatever. So Alhumdulillah! InshAllah your final grade will not be low and greatly affected
