have you ever cheat in your exams and got away with it? i did.. and to be honest, cheating is some sort of a 'survival kit' in school, although i know it IS againts the school regulations. what do you guys think of this?

to me, cheating in a small exams is okay but it's a no-no in a big exam such as final exam. from my point of view as a teacher, exams are there to gauge the whole learning process. low marks doesn't necessarily means the students are weak. maybe the teaching methods are wrong. maybe the syllabus not suit the students. i've once canceled the exams when i found out there's more than 3 students cheating.

well, honestly, i have tried cheating when i was in high school but not anymore not in college because i dont want be kicked out of school. i am studying in the university of the philippines, and in our school, cheating is a mortal sin. how can we ay that our school is a center of excellence when students cheat. that's why i never had tried cheating in college. not even my classmates. no one has the courage to cheat in our school, or to be specific, in our block, because we want to stand by the prestige of being a upian and it can only be felt truthfully and with honor when we are also being truthfu to ourselves!:)

I think its not bad to cheat sometimes especially if we're under pressure...Cheating helps a lot but it doesn't mean that we'll have to cheat all the time...

yea..we definitely do not have to cheat all the time. cheating is just like a survival tool for us students under pressure. sometimes we have too many subjects & so little time to grasp all information for exams.

I did... Actually at my first year in college,I didn't do any cheating,'cuz I think it is no need to do so...and I am always the first person to leave the exam room(even I was not so sure about my answer),my only wish is to just pass all these exam 'cuz I don't think score is everything in college... Untill ,I got low mark and didn't pass it,which means I need to do the makeup again... everybody is cheating or copying,so I became to go with the flow to make sure I pass all of my courses... Kind of ridiculous,but still I did it,and cought by the invigilator....twice.. so bad momery for me anyway :(

I have never cheated on any exams that I have taken in school but I have seen others cheat. The funny thing is that these people cheated and they still failed. I guess they cheated off the wrong people. :-) You are fortunate to not have gotten caught because the teacher could have you failed you for the class in some places or sent to detention. I would not make that a habit though. :-) Have a great day.

yea, it is funny how some students they cheat & still fail. maybe they brought it the wrong notes LOL. the worst thing that could happen to me is getting expelled. that was the only thing i thought of when i cheated.. and that was a one time thing :-D

i sux in cheating. so, basically i never had the chance to cheat. I've tried but with failure, i mean i didn't even had the chance to open up my small notes. It was too risky for me! Fortunately for me, i passed all my finals :P I have to blank the answer in some question though because i really don't have any idea what to bluff or write. But i have another experience where my lecturer suddenly group us all together and announce that everyone flunk the final paper. we were shocked but of course the final was too hard for us. He brought us to the lab and locked the door. He 'sshhh' us and there it was.. the final papers that were supposed to be mark, were given back to everyone there. He asked us to edit back all the answers and hand it back a.s.a.p! :) At the end of the day, all our class passed with flying colors! ^__^_v peace!
