How prominent is cheating at your school?

<p>Just wondering.</p>

<p>Very .</p>

<p>yep.</p>

<p>a lot of it in the math type courses(phy, math, chem), people use to write down formulas in their calc, or write it on index cards and put it behind their calc,i would say that it is in 100% of the high schools in the US and abroad</p>

<p>it's pretty excessive. some of the methods were pretty clever. They make us wear ID Badges at my school and I remember some kids would print out compsci programs at 5 pt font and tape the source code to the back of their IDs for use during lab tests. Other things would include putting disks into another person's computer while they're at the printer and saving the program and then changing things up, printing an extra copy, someone putting the program on a common server and then everyone snatching it up...</p>

<p>In Algebra and Chemistry people would get those solver programs.</p>

<p>my chinese teacher has the test answers right on her desk when she walk to the back of the room i just take the whole paper and copy as much answers as i can. then i put it back turn my back, if she's looking at me I'll give her a BIG smile ^_^ "wussup miss?"</p>

<p>pretty prominent. Of course I go to a public school, so that may be why. It's so darned easy, anyone who wanted to could do it. Essay cheating a.k.a plagarism is definetly the biggest problem. Teachers claim they'll catch you, but for every 1 kid who gets caught, i bet they're are 10-20 who don't. The calculator method described above is pretty prevalent. And just the good ol' look over your neighbor's shoulder is gaining a large crowd of followers. The guy who sits beside me in Chemistry is always looking over at my answers during tests and quizzes.</p>

<p>Cheating is really big. People use tiny print on their so-called scratch paper, put formulas into calculators, sneak test questions from others (whose answers are worthless), stuff like that. The only thing people ever get busted for is plagiarism on major papers. Heck, the biggest form of cheating is, "Hey, do you have the worksheet for (class) done? Can I see it? Aww, please?" Teachers never catch the obvious, verbatim copying. The response from the administration is to give homework less weight . . . most teachers don't care anyway, it'll catch the students who do it in college.</p>

<p>NEVER on Tests or Quizzes. That's a death sentence. You'll always get caught. But, cheating does occur on homework. These are the homeworks, such as Algebra Problem Sets or fill-in the blank Vocab worksheets, that don't require thought and individual responses.</p>

<p>Heck, people cheat on exams here. It's pretty bad. One kid who's never made an A on a test in his life got a 97 once. I got a 97. He cheated off me and then the teacher had to move me.</p>

<p>homework is like that little thing that adds up in my classes which is why cheating on homework is not only the easiest, but the most beneficial</p>

<p>people seem to do the calculator-equation thing everywhere. we have underground math tutors and access to old tests at our school. Mass homework BSing too. these are really disjointed sentences. no one could ever get away with plagarizing a paper though, b/c our teachers use turnitin.com. unless someone's found a way around that, lol. The teachers try to stop earlier periods from passing on info about tests, but it's pretty hopeless and we have this honor code that you have to sign on the top of each exam. doubt that it actually ever stops anyone though</p>

<p>only one teacher here uses turnitin.com and I don't know why the others haven't adopted this method</p>

<p>eww i hate turnitin.com, we are all forced to use it. its so annoying having to cite every little bit of info so you arent accused of cheating from it.</p>

<p>but people cheat in all my classes. most of the chem/phys/any math students make programs on their calc and use them in tests. i know people who cheat on our midterms/finals, even when they are proctors everywhere. i dont know how they do it? and people aways cheat on homework, its nothing big. my school has really increased punishment, we have a new policy so if you get caught once you get a zero, second time you fail that quarter. but it happens, big deal, we all do on homework and little stuff.</p>

<p>ALOT. On our history research papers, 5 people out of 22 got caught for plagarism. In Biology people use their siblings tests from the year before and such because the science teacher uses the same tests. In the ITV courses where the teacher isn't in the room and we have a monitor the people just write as much as they can on the table where they put their test. and wow, many more ways.. In the grade above me there is 6 4.0 students out of 24 and all but one of them cheated their way there.</p>

<p>Lots of ways. For example, you could harness the power of the network in your school and change your grade, that is if you know how to...</p>

<p>Anyways, I been wanting to ask you guys something, do people in compscience know how to change their grade? or Im I just asking a very stupid question</p>

<p>Don't give out homework and their won't be any cheating. I don't know of anyone at my school who accuctly does all their homework with out the occaisional cheating.</p>

<p>The teachers at my school clear everyone's calculator before unit exams and finals. So unless you have some undetectable program...</p>

<p>there's not alot of cheating at my school, at least not to the extent of my knowledge. The math teacher checks graphing calulaters, most students are pretty self motivated and don't plagerize, everyone is basically whipped by the teachers. One time during a test the AP bio teacher left the room for a short meeting with the principal down the hall and for like 15 minutes everyone jsut kept on working, no one even whispered to one another.</p>

<p>in our ap us hist, the teachers are all supposedly reading the thesis papers from each others classes b/c thesis exchange is so popular w/ students</p>
