<p>Today in my physics class, we had a test. A fairly hard test. Myself and a few other people generally get the best grades in the class, are several worksheets ahead, etc.<br>
But tons of other people, not knowing how to do half the problems, go up to our teacher and ask. This is fine, but...
after 10 minutes, 3/4 of the class was gathered around him. He was basically doing all the problems, telling them how to do it, telling them if their answer was right or wrong... all while everyone is standing around talking to each other.
Don't they (teacher included) understand that on a test, if you don't know how to do a problem, you get it wrong? Since when did a test become the ability to get the teacher to do it for you? I understand giving students a hint if they're stuck, but doing entire problems for them?
Now they'll all probably do better than me because they got the teacher to do it for them. (No, I myself will not go up and get him to do the problems for me too... I don't know, that seems awkward to me.)</p>
<p>Sorry, I just had to get that off my chest. It's been annoying me all day.</p>
<p>Yeah I hate it when that happens. It's like..why did you bother studying and putting in all that effort when people who did nothing can just pass like that.</p>
<p>But I would use that to my advantage, and do the same as everyone else to ensure a perfect grade ;)</p>
<p>My teacher does that sometimes as well. But he should offer to help everyone. A couple times he has given us strangely worded questions or particularly difficult ones and has offered help to everyone. He'll draw a diagram or write a couple equations on the board. I wouldn't really call that cheating. It's best to take advantage of that.</p>
