im sorry if this is not the right subreddit for this but it got taken down when i posted it in r/college i just need help
so i took a class last semester and for the class we had to write two essays. i have a friend who is now taking the class this semester and she asked to see my first essay so she could understand the formatting and make sure hers was good. i (stupidly) didn’t think much of it and sent it to her. ofc hindsight is 20/20 and now i know i shouldn’t have done that but i really didn’t think she would cheat or copy or plagiarize. anyway that was over two months ago so i thought all was well then i get an email yesterday from the board of conduct saying that the professor reported both of us for it. my friend said that she will accept responsibility but i am going to request a hearing. i just want to know can i be found responsible for this when its my work and i didn’t share it with the intentions of her cheating or copying? i have text evidence to prove that she only wanted to see it for the formatting, will that help my case or am i screwed regardless. the professor is threatening to change my grade from an A to an F over this and put me on probation for a year and i think that’s very unfair considering i wasn’t trying to help anyone cheat and i genuinely didn’t know it was that serious. please please help ive been stressed and crying all day im so scared nothing like this has ever happened to me
