<p>One of the most well known cheaters in my grade got admitted into ED. We're talking sitting out with a book during nearly every test, looking for the answers.
This isn't out of jealousy, I have no intentions of going to Cornell. But it's infuriating. But no, as you can tell I don't like her.</p>
<p>She has never gotten in trouble for academic dishonesty. Teachers seem to be completely oblivious on what she does
If she could be framed for academic dishonesty, that's a good possibility for a revoke, no?</p>
<p>Does you school have a honor code? Does it require those that witness academic dishonesty to report it? If so…and you (or others) have seen this alleged behavior occur and not reported it…then you are also guilty of academic dishonesty!</p>
<p>It sounds like a classic case of jealousy to me. If she is blatently cheating on tests, why would you need to “frame her?” The fact that your intent is to frame this girl for cheating in order to get her college acceptance rescinded sounds like perhaps you are the one with the problem.</p>
<p>I’ve never reported her because, well, I just didn’t.</p>
<p>No honor code</p>
<p>Maybe I am jealous. Maybe I’m fed up that she gets credit for being excellent, when she’s not. Is that so wrong?
Frame was the wrong word choice. I won’t have to wait long to catch her! Next test should do!</p>
<p>I’ve known fair share of people at Cornell who cheated on exams all the time. Cheating happens all the time, everywhere. Some get caught and get into troubles, but many others get away with it. It is what it is.</p>
<p>It’ll catch up to her eventually. Cornell has very serious academic integrity policies and certain teachers have very strong methods of catching people…</p>
<p>I agree with Islander. If she needs to cheat a lot to get past high school, she probably (almost certainly) doesn’t really know the material and will have an extremely hard time at Cornell.</p>
<p>As my teachers constantly tell me “you are only cheating yourself.”</p>
<p>Based on my testing experiences at Cornell, she’ll have a really hard time. If she’s cheating her way through high school, Cornell will be a rude wake-up call. While I can’t claim cheating is impossible, it’s really hard with many professors. Heck, depending on her major, even if she managed to sneak her notes it might not help her on the exam.</p>
<p>Let’s face it - cheating is a part of life and there are cheaters everywhere. </p>
<p>And I agree with posters above me - if you rely on cheating to get good grades, you’re screwed at Cornell. She better change if she wants to do well here. </p>
<p>In fact, I would be surprised if none of you posting on this board had never tried to cheat before (e.g. trying to peek at the test paper of the person who’s sitting next to you)</p>
<p>“In fact, I would be surprised if none of you posting on this board had never tried to cheat before (e.g. trying to peek at the test paper of the person who’s sitting next to you)”</p>
<p>For the record, some exams at Cornell are impossible to cheat. Some multiple choice question-type of exams, which are heavily used in some courses, are very possible to cheat in. I actually knew a kid in a large lecture who had the balls to actually open up his textbook and notes DURING the final exam and DIDN’T get caught. Also, I saw him taking look at other people’s answers on answer sheet on top of it. He got an A- in the course, tho. (despite zero studying)</p>
<p>Yeah, Cornell has a good amount of cheaters among the students, which is kinda sad. The good thing is most professors are really proactive about catching cheaters and deferring cheating from even happening. One of my professors went so far as to tell us multiple stories about catching cheaters and did basically a whole lecture on what she does with cheaters, which I think was helpful because no one cheated this year [or was caught?].</p>
<p>Cheat in high school? Maybe detention (I don’t know, I never cheated). Cheat in college? Pretty likely you’ll be expelled and it will be very hard to get into another school. What potentially gets people is forgetting to/incorrectly citing material in their papers, but if it’s an honest mistake, usually you can work with the professor (if they truly believe you didn’t mean to plagiarize). </p>
<p>Definitely a big deterrence factor in college.</p>
<p>There was a TON of cheating going on at Cornell at large-lecture type of courses, which were mostly intro courses. (think intro psychology or intro econ) There are literally 500 kids in one lecture room who are cramped, and their exams are multiple choices. believe me, i knew quite a few kids who cheated and some even had the balls to open the textbooks and notes during the exam and didn’t get caught.</p>
<p>there was significantly less cheating at upper level courses, when there were fewer kids per class and exams were more complicated than simple multiple choice set of questions </p>
<p>Also, when i was taking econ courses, many homework problem sets were weighted highly to final grade. you could bet that there were many kids who essentially copied others’ work and just turned it in.</p>
<p>So, it is just the part of life and you can’t get ‘angry’ that this girl got into Cornell after she cheated on exams.</p>
<p>If you get caught cheating at Cornell the charge is taken very seriously. My sons had a friend who was expelled for cheating on an exam. It was his first time caught and there was not going to be a second time. The professor had him appear before a committee and he left school that week. Tuition down the drain and a Cornell degree down the drain. I had asked both of my sons if they ever saw cheating first hand and they said the only time it was obvious to them was with international students.</p>
<p>This sort of post reminds me of every guy who complains about getting friendzoned by a girl even though he “deserves her” while the girl is dating a jerk. Just remember, life isn’t fair, but if it was, it probably wouldn’t wind up too well for you, either.</p>
