copying what and where ??? what exactly do you mean? here in mylot? well the rule sales that we are not to copy and paste stuff from the internet. sometimes mylot may not catch us but some of the members here know and will report you. so better not do it. and well, even if they don't catch us, God knows. good day dear! :-)

The answer to this question is based on a lot of criteria: copy to what and where? But based on how you have worded your question I'll say no. A great rule to follow is: If you think it is wrong it probably is!

No, as a former teaching assistant I have say that copying is not okay. You can read someone's paper or book to gather research or ideas, but don't copy word for word. You won't learn anything that way!

One thing i would like to say is there is no point is cheating in the first place we have to judge ourself. If we copy, you score but the basic point why you are studying was never fulfilled. Why study might as well do something you are good at and make a living out of it rather than wasting money as well as time.

Hi friend, Copying is not a good habit.Of course i to copied when i was small.Even though we know it is wrong,due to tension in exam time we do mal practice for getting marks to be passed,so times it happens,i think its not a big mistake unless u become addicted to it.Even though i copied i didnot been caught by my master. Have a nice day

well you study and try to write some thing in exam is to learn some thing and you are evaluated by the score you got in marks so the main of exams concern marks and these day i do not think that coping is bad idea unless and of course if you could manage not to get caught but if you get caught well every one has to say that its wrong thing to so what do you want to do now try to copy or be a good learner
