Cheaters Never Win

Ok, long story short (sorry, this one is minus the usual wit and character)...I am taking this class at school. It's a third year psychology course and the prof has a bonus point system where you can earn a certain amount of bonus points by doing certain assignments etc. to boost your final mark by up to 10%. Well, one of the options is to read ahead of time the chapter that she will dicussing that day and at the beginning of class she hands out a 5 question multiple choice quiz. Today I noticed a girl three seats over from me doing her quiz with her textbook open on her lap. Now, it's not an open book quiz but I thought well, maybe she didn't know. But THEN I noticed that she is circling answers on TWO quizzes. Hmmm I think. Yep. She is answering one sheet for herself and one for a friend. Two different names on the tops, one missing a student number. She finishes and hands them both in. A few minutes later her friend comes in, sits down, they whisper a bit and then she stands up and oh so innocently says to the prof that she thinks she forgot to put her student number at the top. Gee. Cause yah, she didn't know her friends #. Well, I am sitting there fuming. I did not sit for 3 hours reading a long chapter to get 5 bonus marks and that chickie cheats and gets her friend to do it?! I don't think so. Dilemna is....what do I do?

This is where you all come in....please sign my guestbook and tell me what YOU would do. I know in my mind what I *WANT* to do but I want some validation or some other points of view. Thanks. Sorry this is not my normal type of entry but I needed to vent.
