Cheating?

Best that has happened to me was an exam you were allowed to take the textbook in, and you were allowed to write whatever you wanted, as much as you wanted, on/ in the textbook, so long as there were no loose pages. And this book had six or eight blank pages at the back.

However, it was made boring by the fact you were allowed to do it.

I usualy dont cheat (people laugh at me because i think strat guides for games are cheating ^^;) but ive heard the usual things, under the arm, under the billcap on your hat. This semester, I have this one late evening class by a professor who teaches the same class in the same room at two different times. Apparently an afternoon person wanted to help out one of his buds in the evening by writing the questions/answers on the desk (its a tiered room). The professor caught it, he half pointed it out when we got our tests back and at first we had no idea what he was talking/pointing at @_@

Kyros, that reminds me of this one guy in my Spanish class... He sat in the front row, and for that particular test there was a tv stand (with no sides, just a cart) in front of his desk. He sat his textbook in the tv stand and flipped through it when he needed to look something up -- and the teacher never called him on it. She was one of the most dim teachers I think I ever had. -.-;

I'm not really one to cheat, i think mostly just cause I'm too lazy to actually try something, but i do remeber one time in japanese class we had the worst sub imaginable. This idiot actually FELL ASLEEP during class after he had just passed out a test. Needless to say the second we found out we all started pulling out our notebooks. I don't think I ever had that sub again, shame really, i got a 100% on that test

I've only cheated once in my life, on an english grammar test in middle school. I took five clear pens with me to the exam.. the cheap ones you can take apart. What I did with those is that I wrote the 5 hardest words on a small piece of paper and rolled it loosely and stuck it inside the pen so that the ink stem was inside the paper and the word / definition was facing out. I was not caught and I recieved a high mark, but I felt guilty about it afterward. Cheating may pay off physically, but it takes a toll mentally. I find so much more pride in myself knowing I passed.. or even failed... knowing that I did it to the best of my ability without help.

Dude...after all that time you spent writing down the word and writing out the definitions, don't you think you would've just remembered it?

i make "cheat sheets" that are fairly small for latin vocab quizzes, but I end up just useing them to study with during the other periods of the day and by the time 5th rolls around i know it anyway, so the cheat sheet inevitable becomes more of a study sheet in reality.

Wow, you guys use complicated methods. I just walk in with a stack of note paper, and have all the shit I need written on the third or fourth page down. OR if they check them, I write it out on a sheet overtop of another sheet, and press REALLY hard. This indents the words, and then I doodle on my paper and it shows me what I need to know. I always doodle, so the teachers think nothing of it, then I make a paper airplane and toss it towards the garbage when im done, so the teacher yells at me to throw it out. Works every time.

everyonce in awhile, I'll have forgotten to study for a test, and after looking at the questions, Ill excuse myself to the bathroom.

You can take it from there.
But I've only done it twice, but it worked really well (only with tests).

That doesn't work for exams though. They either dont allow bathroom breaks, or get someone to go with you.

I cheat all the time - you get to my age and you can't afford to be repeating a year
findfreeessays.com is a good site
Exam cheating advice is always appreciated though

last year I couldn't fucking find all the answers to this quiz because I was sick and my eyes were kind of blurred so I snuck around and found the teachers addition and just copied down what letters I thought I saw I only missed one.

At my uni, bags, books and everything are put at the front of the room. They give you notepaper, so you can't bring your own. Your pencils etc have to be in a clear plastic case, and if you have a bottle of water, you have to remove any labels from it and keep it on the floor unless you're actually drinking from it. Once you sit down, you can't move, unless you go to the toilet - in which case you are escorted.

They're onto you guys.

I've never cheated, although this one time in grade 6, I got 19/20 on a spelling test because the boy who marked my sheet thought I put an I instead of an E.. so I corrected it to 20/20.

I'm going straight to hell!

I'm not sure how masturbating at school really constitutes "cheating"

Newsflash: They dont check your pockets as you come in or go to the bathroom. Also they usually send someone but if youve gotta do the duece they aint gonna come into the stall with you. A buddy of mine ( no seriously ) would make a 4 page long cheat sheet, mostly copy/paste from the text book CD, and shrink it down to a page or a double sided sheet. Then he goes to the bathroom sitting in the stall.

Anoher way to cheat at uni is when you have exams in the gym. Usually a HUGE gym. Grabbing a seat in the back means you can see all the proctors at a glance. I never cheated but id be smacking myself in the head when i would look around and the nearest proctor was a kilometer away. Cheating wouldve been so easy. If only i hadnt studied and instead wasted my time making cheat sheets.

Also in my opinion writting formulas and proofs on a calculator isnt cheating. Its a creative workspace.
