Artificial Intelligence - Database Design - Mathematics - Mathematics, Management and Finance - Mathematics and Statistics for Finance

Masters student studying on MSc Emerging Digital Technologies programme accused of suspected academic misconduct (collusion) in an open book examination. There were a number of exam questions where the marker identified similarities and concluded that such similarities had to be attributed to collusion. This was a complex case. The module was in relation to database design. The examination for this module tested coding for the database design, logical design, normalisation for relational algebra, database transactional management and linear algebra. RT Coopers drafted a robust statement denying any allegation of collusion. The student submitted the statement to the investigation officer prior to the investigation hearing and attended the hearing. . The allegation was dismissed following the investigation hearing. The case did not go beyond the investigation stage.

‘Dr Cooper clarified the issues, reasoning and meaning behind every point of my defence. Dr Cooper’s experience and understanding of the university's regulations enabled me to win my case. I couldn't have been more grateful during the panel hearing for being well prepared and that I could answer all questions satisfactorily. My case was dismissed immediately at the investigation stage; it never went to the committee stage. I'm glad I met Rosanna; she represents a delicate balance of being assertive to deliver while maintaining emotional intelligence. I received personal care’. Elli Roberts

'RT Cooper is a firm characterized by excellence and care for their clients and I would recommend it to anyone! I cannot convey how grateful I am to Dr. Rosanna Cooper who won my case by disposing of an allegation of academic misconduct. As a final year mathematics student who was accused of academic misconduct by my University, I was in absolute panic until I met Rosanna. Her kindness, generosity and professionalism are extraordinary. The time and work that Rosanna invested in my case made me see me that she truly cares about securing the best outcome for me.

I know that it is her knowledge, her combination of legal and scientific professional insight, that gave my defense statement a chance to be strong. Rosanna drafted an excellent defense statement despite the tight deadline and the complexity of my case, which required unpicking content of university-level mathematics and programming. Rosanna really understood the details surrounding my case and how each of these complexities needed to be addressed. The statement that she completed was thorough on all fronts, and her communication was prompt throughout. Her composure and clear instructions on what exactly needed to be done to maximally strengthen my statement allowed me to focus on specific tasks, instead of panicking. I am very grateful for your help!' Mallysa Oceon

First year student studying for a degree in Mathematics with Management and Finance was accused of collusion by a University during open book exams. Like most students during lockdown, the lecturers did not get a chance to complete the modules. There were irregularities surrounding the exam papers for these modules and the University did not have clear procedures, regulations or policies in relation to sitting open book exams. During the lockdown period, the student sought answers from a chatroom (specifically about the irregularities pertaining to these exam papers). The basis for the allegation of collusion was that there were other students sharing information about the exams in the chatroom and this amounted to collusion as the student could have and must have seen the questions and answers that were being circulated. Clearly, the allegations were false and with damaging consequences for the student if found guilty of collusion. The student was put under tremendous pressure to accept the allegation of collusion. RT Coopers advised the student to deny the allegation and drafted the appeal and represented the student at the hearing. The penalty was a warning (with no justification) although the panel stated that this would be removed from the student’s records at the end of the course. The student was satisfied with this outcome as a number of other students were in the chatroom at the same time had been accused and found guilty of collusion, given harsher penalties with no means of removing the offence from their records. This was a very difficult case for both sides in particular as the University was trying to clamp down on students' using chatrooms during open book exams without having any regulations or policies to deal with the issues. Clearly, a good outcome for the student. We applaud the student for taking a stance against the University and ensuring that the penalty was a warning with no impact on the student’s future.

'I was wrongly accused of collusion by my university. I was about to give up on my case, as other solicitors said that they cannot win my case, when Rosanna Cooper contacted me and said that we can win. We managed to reduce penalty of collusion to just warning. Rosanna helped me to prepare written submission and was very supportive during the misconduct meeting and after. I’m very happy with the work and I would highly recommend RT Coopers. 5 stars.' AY

She helped me through all the way up till the end of my Panel hearing. She made absolutely sure that her job was done effectively. When I started to read my statement, which she prepared, I was so satisfied with the effort that Dr Rosanna had put into my work. You could see how amazingly she had done the job. It felt like Dr Rosanna had been there and felt all the tiny bits of my story and lived through it with me, my life. Finally she could put it all into to my statement and make it come alive.
