<p>Not really homework but I had this biology reasearch paper to write in 3 hours at school on monday, so I wrote a good copy of it for 11 hours on saturday (13 pages) and I memorised word by word on Sunday for 5-6 hours.
And I wrote the exact same thing (nearly word by word), off my head, at school and got top of class!</p>
<p>IB Diploma = 6/7 Subjects + coursework + Extended Essay + TOK paper
IB Diploma = expect an influx of students running for the asylum every November and May!!</p>
<p>lolll i love my school!
i get no hw ever and im taking the hardest courses available
i have a friend in the IB program... i pray for him every night</p>
<p>doing wut NoFX did isnt really cheating. its just preparation for the test. he wrote everything him/herself. often my own teacher reccomends us to go home and prepare for an essay test. NoFX was just really studying</p>
<p>you have an essay test in class
you go home and write the entire essay out, come to school and write it down word for word? pray tell me, what was the point of doing it in school? if that was what your teacher had in mind then why not make it a take home essay?</p>
<p>I think it's cheating. Not cheating how we usually think about it, but it's still cheating. It's going against the guidelines set down by the teacher. I also concur he has no life to actually do such a thing. :)</p>
<p>Umm it wasn't cheating..
We had like 2 weeks of research and preperation time for the paper.
We didn't have a set question or anything. It was just about writing about my topic (which was something about biotechnology). Everyone knew what we had to do in the exam - write about how it works, why it is needed in our society, the ethics, etc..</p>
<p>Our teacher recommended that we should write an essay PLAN, memorise it and write the essay in the exam.
I, however, (being the over achiever) wrote the whole essay at home, memorised the whole essay, and wrote the exact copy in the exam.</p>
<p>I don't see how that is cheating. The whole exam style was pretty stupid because they practically told us what is expected. This is just like studying for a history exam (like, writing a paper): memorising all the facts and figures, writing a practice essay, and vaguely memorising it, and writing the near-same thing at school. :: which is what nearly everyone does in my school. Wouldn't you do that?</p>
