Backpacks that you can also pull around like a suitcase. They look retarded and he's basically calling you the school dweeb.

i know what a roller backpack is

i just didn't know there was this stigma against them

most of the kids i've seen who use them seem pretty normal

I only ever saw one or two when I went to HS and college. Honestly, the social pariahs I knew in school wore shit like Swiss military backpacks and overcoats in the Spring.

if you're relying on memorization instead of derivation and still can't do it:
-your memory is not good enough for the task at hand
-your critical thinking skills aren't being developed very well

Depends

Education system is bullshit so cheating on shit that doesn't matter isn't that bad
But most people cheat because they're lazy and don't care about anything

But you seem like a bright kid so you should be fine
thanks fam, its just bullshit having to learn these things when i wont use most of it in my career
Are you the other Astronomy major besides me?

You changed your avatar.

Why are you cheating on a Calculus exam? Calculus is, like, a big part of astronomy. You should learn the material. You'll have been a smarter person afterwards having done that.

Grades are more important than learning so no, it's not wrong

Almost always, with moderation
Simply put it means you don't know the material and you're just making it harder for yourself later on.

Well, if someone fully grasps what they're doing they shouldn't have to cheat to pass. Are you cheating because you're lazy, or because you can't picture it all together in your mind in a way that makes sense? If it's the latter, it might be that you don't fully understand what you're doing. It's best to learn it right the first time or it'll come back to bite you at some point.

I've cheated on almost every final I've taken. Don't cheat if you can't get away with it or if you don't know how to do it.

It's only cheating if you get caught. Other words, it's using your resources.

“I’ve become skeptical of the unwritten rule that just because a boy and girl appear in the same feature, a romance must ensue. Rather, I want to portray a slightly different relationship, one where the two mutually inspire each other to live - if I’m able to, then perhaps I’ll be closer to portraying a true expression of love.”
From general consensus I think two things are important, you want to get a decent grade and learn the material. If you have to cheat now to keep yourself afloat that's really your only option as far as the system goes. For yourself, however, you want to learn the material more after the test.
Is this for a midterm exam or a final exam?

Eh. Not like it matters anymore. I actually didn't need to look at what I planned to use to cheat. Most of it was piss easy and stuff. What I'm hoping is that the final let's us use the "shortcut" methods we've learned instead of the other methods.

In response to the thread generally, the comments directed at you, or both?

Alright. Why?
because the only thing anyone should be posting in this thread is "of course it's really that bad"

Why does it make someone an idiot to think otherwise? I don't see the connection.

that's the same exact question as "why does it make someone an idiot to think that 2+2=8000"

because it's wrong, that's why

do i need to explain the purpose of a test to you

Oh yeah, I remember cringey stuff from school. Yesterday I saw a guy wearing a fedora and - I kid you not- fingerless gloves. When he was adjusting his hat it looked like he was tipping and I could barely contain myself

Extensionally they are not the same question.

Because the original purpose of a test is to evaluate someone's mastery of curricular material cheating doesn't actually fulfill that purpose, and therefore it is wrong? Or is it because they are doing it when they know they shouldn't that it's wrong?

Actually, it might help if you explain what the purpose of a test is in your view.
