never cheated on an exam. definitely had the opportunity to when school moved online but i couldn't bring myself to do it.

i did cheat on some fluid mechanics homeworks sophomore year using chegg solutions, but i'm a senior now and haven't used chegg since then. in retrospect i wish i hadn't, but my professor was so shitty that i had no other choice. the department fired him the semester after he taught us due to how shitty he was

Counter-question aimed at instructors and TAs. What’s the most embarrassing or most elaborate cheating attempts you’ve caught?

Once while proctoring a physics final I caught an entire row of Chinese students copying off each other - #1 copied off of #2 who copied off of #3 and so on with #6 copying off a White girl to his left. We made a note of it and when we examined the tests we found that all six had identical work on identical pages as the girl they copied off of. This was particularly amusing because a) all of them had different versions of the exam and b) the girl they copied off of got like a 30 on the final so most of it was wrong anyways. All six students were given automatic Fs for the course and were reported to the university.

About 40% of labs were not turned in for an intro lab course outside of major. Student (after finals, with 2 days left before grades were due) turned in complete labs for all the missed ones and have the notebook as well. Of course all the labs turned in were sequentially in the notebook with no pages skipped, then like 2 pages skipped and then all the labs not turned in sequentially thereafter. I express wrote up a two page report to academic integrity about all the issues of potential cheating within a couple hours. Student didn't even contest and was also reported in a separate lab course in major.

Caught a student who printed equations on the inside label of a water bottle. The crazy thing is they’d clearly put in a lot of thought and trial and error into it.

Had a monstrously fat black girl in an OChem class. Like so far she gets winded walking to the front of the class to turn in an exam. During the midterm, the TAs caught her leaning to peak at a nearby student’s exam. Warned her once. Caught her doing it a second time. Gave her one last warning. Didn’t get a chance to give her a third warning because in the middle of the exam you suddenly heard this loud crack as she leaned so far over the torque from her body mass snapped the desk like a twig and she fell over into the gap between chair rows. When she got up she had part of the desk clamped around a roll of fat, pulled it off, and immediately grabbed her things and left. Withdrew from the class that afternoon.

Last Spring semester I was taking a class on real analysis. I got way above average on the first two exams, but the professor decided to move the final online due to COVID. He emailed us the exam in the morning and we had 24 hours to turn it in, but he said we only had 2 continuous hours to complete it and that he would hold us to this based on our honor. Well, I didn't cheat and I ended up getting like 2 standard deviations above average and ended up getting a B in that class and lost my "highest distinction" on my diploma. I emailed him assuring him that people cheated based on my exam grades and he said he "didn't notice any irregularities".

I only cheated once during college. The professor gave us a programming assignment on Friday that was due Monday. When I went to the computer lab Saturday morning, it was closed because there was a home football game that weekend and there had been too many instances of random fans wandering in and fucking things up. The sign said the lab would reopen Sunday at noon. That was fine because it wasn't a huge assignment and would only take a couple of hours to complete.
Sunday afternoon I went to the lab. It was still closed. Sunday evening. Still closed, still had the same sign on the door that it would open at noon. Monday after class I ask the professor if I can turn in the assignment late because the lab was closed all weekend. He says he has a new zero tolerance policy for late assignments. We end up getting into a huge shouting matching in the hallway about the computer labs. The university charges everyone a computer lab fee and in exchange students aren't required to own their own computer (this was the early 90s). After a lot of shouting, he says the grader hasn't picked up the assignments yet (they were submitted on paper back then) so if I finish and put it in her mailbox before she shows up, then it is ok.
I go over to the lab, mad as hell. I have no idea how long before the grader picks up the assignments. One of my classmates asks me why I'm so mad, I tell him why. He gives me a copy of his homework. I've never cheated before but I change the comments, variable names, change the order of a few things, and turn it in. Get full credit.
A few days later the professor and I get an email from the department head explaining that the grad student whose job it is to reopen the labs slept in on Sunday and didn't get around to reopening the lab until 10pm. Due to this and university policy about computer ownership, everyone should get an extra couple of days to complete the assignment. Too late, already cheated, don't feel bad about it.

I used to cheat and get away with it. However, stress of cheating was much more to me than actual studying.
Also realized the few extra points obtained by cheating during test was actually less compared to when I actually put that mental energy in solving the problem by myself.

Cheating is only necessary if you are desperate. However, if you are a lazy dumb fuck like me cheating literally becomes an art form. I used various techniques throughout high school and college. Unfortunately, results vary greatly and I just sticked with the bear minimum with grades to pass. Also, I have batshit insane parents that overspend on my education and would go on a tantrum if I get one “F” on my report card. In the end it does not matter what school you got into no one actually cares and it certainly doesn’t determine your future either.

Not an exam but I caught someone plaigarizing their essay. The first and last pages were completely filled with misspelled words and run-on sentences but everything in the middle looked like it came from wikipedia. When I checked, the middle pages were word for word copied from one singular wikipedia article. Upon further inspection it looked like it even had the wikipedia citation marks (like [5] and [43]) that were poorly covered up with whiteout. They'd even bothered to include pictures and diagrams which were optional but, of course, were ripped right from wikipedia. It was one of the shittiest excuses for a plaigarized paper I'd ever seen.

I’m in math. Cheating on exams has long since been impractical since upper division math exams are generally the professor’s modifications to problems that would take a long time to look up, and those problems probably wouldn’t give me insight into solving the entire thing anyway. To that end, most math exams I’ve had we’re open book, or if I forgot a theorem, the professor would write it on the board for use later.
As for looking answers up, usually I’ll get *parts* of the reasoning I need online, understand it completely, and incorporate it into my solution. If it’s super specific, I’ll cite it, but if it’s something you can convince yourself of within a day, I don’t.

In my junior year of high school, the girl who sat behind me in literature class copied off my test one day without me knowing. The teacher said she would usually give both students zeros for having identical answers because there's no way to know who copied off of who. In this case however, she let my grade stand and gave the girl a zero because the teacher knew from past exams if I didn't know that answer, I'd put down something crazy.

Instead of being a good goy and getting bad grades for being honest unlike the rest of the class, just be smart about it and don't be retarded when you cheat.

I used to plagiarize the shit out stuff. But had the sense to change words, word order, insert own sentences, make deliberate trivial mistakes, etc.

I never quite understood the thing against plagiarism. Most of my assignments were essentially acquiring a variety of resources and basically rewriting what they had said from perhaps a slightly different angle or instance. Seemed like a huge waste of time and barely any different from straight plagiarism. Perhaps the only difference was I actually had to read what I was plagiarizing and make modifications accordingly. Never got caught and never felt guilty about turning in this pointless make-work

I can't consider using sites like chegg on homework as cheating. Doing physics homework was like slamming my head against a brick wall at times, the less intuitive problems could be so frustrsting. After I started using chegg to do homework all my exam grades improved. It's basically the same as having a tutor except it doesn't cost a fortune

Never cheated, but a bunch of guys who had a higher GPA than did it a lot. They even did that during the last midterm before graduation. Funny story, they haven't found a job since them while I'm doing pretty good with my job given the present circumstances.

people who say that cheating isnt justified haven't gone to a top tier school mostly populated by asians.
quiz in tutorials? all the asians sit around and talk amongst themselves in chinese, the TA can only say "no collaborating" so many times before they give up and realize its not worth it. You got people who form group chats with almost all the chinese kids and a few pajeets who share answers on take home assignments. Every now and then they get caught due to retarded shit, but mostly they fly under the radar. Any test that isnt set in a dedicated exam hall with invigilators will have chinese kids communicating amongst themselves and sharing answers. They have been doing it all their life, china and the CCP is literally built on cheating and stealing information and technology from others. Congratulations, you didn't cheat and now you're barley passing and will have a more shit GPA and you will have less future opportunities due to your poorer performance than the rest of the class. but at least you were honest!

Got caught peaking at another kids exam in a multiple choice exam. It was the end of the exam and I had no clue so fuck it, right? Well, the Proctor saw this, didn't say anything to me and when the exam grades came out mine didn't.

Went in to the professors office to ask about the grade. Mind you this is probably the most important professor for my major, like the guardian who decides who gets through. The only teacher of a couple core 300 level classes, and I even had another scheduled with him next semester.

He goes, "Ah, I've been wanting to talk to you, please close the door and take a seat." Pulls out an exam and asks me to explain how my work corresponds to the answer on the exam. Commence pants shitting, face flushing red, stumbling over words, but I never admitted to cheating.

Luckily, the answer wasn't even right, and I didn't even do well on the exam.
After I left I sat on a bench for a good hour afterwards thinking about how I almost just fucked my entire life up. I would have definitely killed myself if I got kicked out of uni.

Don't cheat on in person exams, the payoff won't help you

>> No.12428747

there are scenarios where cheating is justified IMO

I'm a student right now during this pandemic and none of the professors have wavered on how they apply curves to grades.

It only hurts you to not cheat when every other student in the class is averaging 90-100% on exams.

And online proctoring doesn't stop anything, either. Whats stopping me from taping answers to my screen, etc? you can't stop it

lol don't be such a pussy. they aren't going to kick you out for cheating, as long as you don't admit to anything it will be too much effort for them to prove you cheated for them to bother. The whole point of scare tactics is trying to get an admission of guilt out of you to make their lives easier. Any time you're in one of these situations just remember shaggy's advice "it wasn't me" it will get you a long way

Naivety or innocence, not sure what you are rocking anon, but don't shid your pants that easily.
And as >>12428852 said, just deny it. Sometimes it's better to come clean, but that is so very rare and depends entirely on the professor it's not worth risking it.
And of course, don't cheat when you don't have to, fgt

The TAs went on strike at my campus, and due to the fact that they couldn't force us to "cross the picket line" to come to campus, they made a midterm optional. You either write it and get graded as normal, or you skip it and the grade gets reweighted to the final. I went in, wrote the test, realised I was gonna get a shit grade, and wrote a fake name on the paper so they couldn't attribute it to me.

>What were the consequences
The prof made an announcement in the next lecture about finding a test with a name that wasn't registered in the class, and that he would cross reference everyone's handwriting on the final exam to find out who it was and give them a zero. I consciously changed my handwriting for the rest of that course, and from then on I usually wrote in cursive. He never found out, I passed the class.

>Are you happy that you cheated
No. It's kind of a funny memory and a joke amongst my friends, but I'm not proud of the fact that I cheated.

>Would you do it again
Not unless I absolutely needed to in order to pass or maintain my GPA. I don't like cheating in general and I certainly will never make a habit of it.

>What's your opinion on cheating
I disapprove of it in general. I can forgive someone for doing it once or twice, but I dispise those who are habitual cheaters. The fact that they have the nerve to consistently try and pass of fraudulent work as their own, or copy off someone else disgusts me.

The lab supervisor I worked for when I was a GTA caught a bunch of Chinese kids forming a group chat for sharing answers for pre-lab quizzes (someone was sneaking snapshots of the quiz during the first section and then posting it so everyone else would know the questions before coming to lab). So one week he made two versions, one for the first lab where the answer to all the questions was C and one for the other labs where none of the answers were C. So of course the Chinese kids come in the rest of lab that week and all of them are just finishing their five minute quizzes in 1-2 minutes tops and they're all just CCCCCCCCCC down the line. Rinse and repeat for three more weeks. None of the cheaters caught on. So after a months the lab supervisor turns in the names of about 25-30 students to the academic integrity office. All of them Chinese. All of them gets Fs for the class.
