is cheating on tests really that bad?

Naru · April 25, 2016, 05:12:23 PM

cause im doing it for tomorrow so i can excel at my dreams and pass calc. i mean, lets be honest, schools do say to use the resources around you to achieve, so.. i see no problem with doing so. im putting some formulas on my calculator and then sliding a small piece of paper in my lead pencil with a small definition and maybe some formulas cause we are made to remember a bunch of shit

If you need to cheat to pass something as easy as calculus, you're not going anywhere, regardless.

You're basically admitting that you don't know the material and aren't fit for the work, so, yeah, I'd say it's pretty bad.

its not that, i just cant memorize what the teacher gives us. i mean, im fine with memorizing a few formulas granted i can easily see them, but then we learn the definitions of them so, like, fuck.

The only type of "cheating" I disagree with is self-plagiarizing. The fact you can fail an assignment by referencing your past work is stupid.

lmao, i remember someone who did that in high school. funny shit, but still fucking bullshit

No, it's not. I literally cheated my way through college.

I used to be pretty good at math, but later in high school I slacked hardcore. Ended up paying the T.A. so I'd pass the class, SMH it bit me in the ass my first semester of college though.

Morally? Of course, you're getting an unfair advantage others don't have through bending the rules.

Practically? Not at all, if you're smart about it and don't get caught.

Also, the center you're being tested at doesn't check your calculators? What a bunch of lazy fucks.

they do, but this is in class. tfw cant use my nspire in class ;-;

Ingy · April 25, 2016, 06:31:12 PM

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

In my engineering program we had a lot of arab students that basically had a huge cheating network set up where they would pass answers during tests, copy all their homework and assignments, and pass down information about how to get easy grades. They were basically getting degrees for half (or less) the effort, and would often just show up for exams and skip class altogether.

The occasional test isn't really going to harm anybody morally speaking. But coming from a compulsive teacher, I'd recommend against making it into a habit.
