omg, i swear this TA copied my answers exactly to write the solution for the last assignment.

http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/~fleck/hwsol6.htm

they are exactly how my variables are named, ordered and how my test cases are chosen.

LOOK!!

he basically just copied and pasted my answers as his solution. i don't know if i should feel honored or violated :( i don't know but it feels strange. maybe i really should be happy since at least i got 100% on my homework. but i hate that class now. because the way everything is graded is so unfair to me (refer this. there are more than just that too). and i know i'm good at it :(

MORE TO THE INCIDENT
so i took daynah's advice and emailed the professor about the copying and i got a response back today:

Thanks for bringing this to my attention -- I'll discuss it with the TA. If your solutions are to be used, you should receive credit and be consulted beforehand. The samples are a natural way to do the problems, and might be duplicated unintentionally, but it is unlikely all the identifiers would be chosen alike.

hmm.. but after you email the professor rite, i wonder if the TA wil deny everything and make your life even harder during tuts.

What a jerk! How did he find your answer? You should probably have it password protected or something. @_@ Cheaters everywhere!

Dodo, you need to talk to the professors. TA's are not suppose to do that! They're suppose to come up with their own solutions.. else that means they're not doing their job.

oh great i just realize, he copied problem 3 a) wrong!! and now it's wrong as a solution!! he should not have capitalized "india" coz otherwise it will make it a variable.
