Cheating on Exams

[Cabbit]

During college for myself we had a unspoken agreement, when it came to paper work we would all do our own than pass them all around the 5 of us this worked well in creating better papers and one could call it collaboration rather than cheating though depending on your point of view it would be one or the other.
Though non of our papers were graded it is just a tick all the boxes for a pass or miss something and go add it in for a pass.

I have cheated on a couple of major tests. Of course it hasn't been any easier for me because of it, but hey that's life.

Trying to do the same on my PSAT didn't exactly go according to plan.

I can see where this is going. I'll leave with this statement: worry about yourself and where you are going, if other people want to make stupid decisions - let them, and don't let it piss you off.

Where is this going?


Why shouldn't it piss me off? As others have posted, one person cheating has a greater effect on the entire class, school, and profession.

Who says I was worried about it? Not me.

I think that you missed the point of my OP.

All I know is that I'm off to write another final exam tonight!

I hope I don't notice anyone cheating.....

During my entire year of student teaching (9th grade and then 7th grade) I noticed A LOT of cheating amongst students. Plagiarism is a raging problem in schools today!

I've noticed that in college, many of the cheaters to whom I've spoken are only doing it to 'get through' with the class. In my undergraduate years I learned that many people are simply in college to get a degree; it is a means to an end. I love school so much, and I see college as a way to better myself and voraciously eat up as much knowledge as I can. That's why many of us are in grad school.

I see where the original poster may have felt things were askew. If my manager were to complete mismanage people and processes due to a lapse or lack of knowledge from cheating in college, we'd be in bad shape. Being an English major, there was really no way I could cheat on an in class essay. You either read the material or you didn't.

Otherwise, let the cheaters cheat. If you don't take pride in yourself and your education- that's your problem, not mine.
