Have you ever cheated on a school paper?

Be honest. No one will know but us ;)

I cheat on lots of stuff in school.

turned in a paper I got off an essay writing website. Got an A on the essay, 4.0 in the college Philosophy class. Funny when you hear so many people say you'll never get away with it.

No, I haven't.

I'm not gonna lie, I do...a lot. I don't do it all the time the instant I get some work, but If I don't get it, I'll go to the person beside me. And I plan to cheat for the rest of my life, college, work, everything. Make it to the top faster if I don't get caught.

You mean plagiarize? Not intentionally, though I did get in hot water once when I apparently typed out verbatim a paragraph that appears in some other published work. Thankfully, the work in question had little to do with my subject.

I have never cheated myself, but helped others cheat many times.

Papers that are just intended to help the teacher know how you're doing? Frequently because I don't ever bother revising.

Actual moderated exams for qualifications etc? No.

yup, i started doing it in high school, i just hated studying subjects like Religion, that way i have time to study for real subjects like physics and math which i have to study, i used the small paper trick more that 10 times and never got caught

but i never did in any other subject other that Religion

[QUOTE="kweeni"]can't say i haven't it was last year, with our fench teacher lol. everyone(wel exept the girls lol) was always making fun of her, she really sucked at teaching and didn't know how to control the students lol. everytime she gave a test the whole class cheated, even when she saw it she was to chicken to open her mouth lolBruin4ev3r1520

btw i just remember we had the same thing with another teacher(math), also the same year xD man he sucked even worse than that french teacher! lol but he left after a month though which is a good thing cus no one ever understood a word he sed, plus he had a funny face xD

kinda... it's not like I could of ever been caught though.

1. forgot/too lazy to cite every source.

2. stole sources from other papers.

In some of my research I had 50+ different sources I was going through. Litterally piles of ideas over long periods of time. It's not uncommon for an idea to pop into your head that isn't yours, and you don't know where it came from. Musicians know this pretty well. They rip off songs all the time w/out even knowing they're doing it. Technically since I'm not doing it intentionally it's not cheating, but it's still plagerism.

Stealing sources is lazy habit of mine. Why bother going through 50+ journals and only finding useful information in 3 of them. Also why bother when somebody else has done the research, and cited it for you. Sometimes this was actually nessissary because not too many people wrote on the subjects I wrote on. I don't know if this is considered cheating or not, but according to me it's kinda dishonest, but most of the teacher I knew had done similar things so it was pretty well accepted. I think if you really believe you never did anything dishonest in school you're probaby just ignorant to what you were doing.

yeah well if they can't handle it, they should find another job. cus being a teacher is serious business :Obtw i just remember we had the same thing with another teacher(math), also the same year xD man he sucked even worse than that french teacher! lol but he left after a month though which is a good thing cus no one ever understood a word he sed, plus he had a funny face xDkweeni

No, I haven't. I really look down on people who cheat and consider them less than human... even though they are displaying a common human trait.. I'm all for leaving these primitive traits behind and finding better ways to deal with things. Of course, cheating/lying of all forms is mostly a product of a society that awards that behavior and punishes though who are honest. Of course that's not always true, but it's true often enough.

I dunno how to cheat on a paper. >o>Aquat1cF1sh

No, i get A's on my essays all by myself..:P

Yeah whenever I need to

All the time, but not for a lack of understanding. If anything I'm being smarter in terms of manipulating the grading system of certain classes to my benefit. There's always an easy way around a "hard" class. :twisted:

Spot on. Why take the hard way, when you could just... not.

Don't think I ever cheated on a test. And I like writing essays, so I don't really have a need to cheat.

College students who brag about cheating amuse me. "Ha, I cheated in this class I paid 400 dollars to take. I'm so cool."

[QUOTE="-Tish-"][QUOTE="rawsavon"] But if you were really smart, you wouldn't need to :orawsavon

I suck at writing, I don't want my GPA to drop because of stupid classes (that Optometry programs make you take in college before you apply), my friends suck even more at writing, ran out of people to help me. do the math.

[QUOTE="rawsavon"][QUOTE="-Tish-"]Yeah but I'd much rather use an easier path if possible, especially in math classes. -Tish-

yep. one time though. i was barely passing with a 72 average so i had to cheat on a Math Final and got a 90.

No it's just not right.
