MEGA - Studying, Exams, Stress, and coping with them

cheating

i was wondering how many of you cheat? for me personally, i cheat whenever i feel i can do so safely which depends entirely on the professor. what i find funny is how varied professors are in how much they care about cheating. for example, this semester i have some professors who make us sit in every other seat, give out four versions of the exam and check everyone's photo ID to prevent cheating. ive had other professors that gave everyone the same exam in a room where we were in such close quarters i could literally see four or five different peoples' answer sheets. needless to say, i never even opened the book or showed up on non exam days.

another example is online classes. i'm taking one this semester and all the answers get posted on the internet by students. it's so easy that i intentionally "throw" away questtions (mark the wrong answer on purpose) because i think getting a 100% on every test would make me look suspicious. i love these types of classes where i don't have to do any work at all.

so what are your expeirences with cheating and have you ever been caught? i personally have not.
 
Cool... yeah... cheat your way through college... top work there... great to see you learning stuff. Granted there are some courses where you know that what you are "learning" is pretty much bullshit and you'll never use it again, but in the end cheating your way through will most probably come back and bite you in the ass.

Great life strategy :\

Anyway, it's your degree, it's your potential job and it's your future.

I'm not going to preach to you ;)

there is a reason businesses want college graduates.... because supposedly they are educated... like i posted in the other cheating thread, ill cheat in the sense that i will work with someone or use there paper to write minor papers, but i dont cheat on tests.

call me sentimental but i want to actually gain something from my time at uni, im tired f being an ignorant fuck.

then again, if you never learn anything, you will never know mow much you dont know
 
the thing is its not like i havent gaiend anything, i mean i dont cheat in every class. just the classses where its really easy to cheat. so ive still learned most of the essentials.
 
I can't really judge people who cheat very harshly, beecause I'm not perfect, but I certainly don't have to pretend to like them or even respect them.
 
The only time I've cheated on tests was writing down Physics equations on my arm/wrist. I sat in the back row so it was pretty easy to get away with it. Now all of my courses are 300 and 400 level, so the exams are more essay-based rather than the basic "here's a problem, solve for x" or something...of course, the tests I cheated on were much more complex than that...

We get a note sheet for physics, I can't imagine not using one. So many equations!!!

To the OP - so you are a political science major? So was I. How the hell do you cheat on an essay exam? I mean, come on, that takes some effort. What are you doing, like, peering over at your neighbor's essay and copying it word-for-word? Or maybe re-writing it in your own words? Why not save yourself the hassle and simply read the course material...lol.

If you even have the urge to cheat...then you aren't just doing it for the diploma. You are doing it to avoid work. And guess what, you'll probably continue do that until you get busted, not for cheating, but for trying to take the easy route. If you don't want to work now, what makes you think you will in a month...or a year? If you aren't interested in political science, or developing your critical writing and thinking skills, why in the world are you paying your university?

Life is not a video game and there are no cheats. Temporarily "cheating" only delays your eventual assumption of responsibility.

I look forward to taking exams because I actually try to learn the material. Cheat? Not an option. The MCAT looms :)

I caught a woman cheating in my course last term.
I was reasonably lenient, and I like to think that you cheat yourself, for the most part, and if you only need a credential, and that works, more power to ya. . .but you're calloused enough about it that I will rethink my approach. :)

im paying so i can get a diploma because apparently having one makes it easier to find a job or something.
 
Notes/equations in a graphing calculator is as far as I've gone. Any class that does NOT require a calculator I stay pure in.
 
In high school I cheated once. I pre-wrote an essay on 2 pieces of paper and pushed the pen down real hard to make an impression of each word on the bottom piece. Then in the essay writing time, I just traced the impressions on the blank page and duplicated the essay. :)
