<p>You’re a Princeton student? What impression do you get of their pre-med program and students?</p>
<p>Students work very hard, but they aren’t cut-throat or anything. There really isn’t an official pre-med program, so I guess I can’t say anything about it. All I can say is that the required intro bio courses for pre-meds kinda suck in that they are ENTIRELY about tedious memorization. In classes like these (especially with Pton’s curved grades), it’s all about sinking more time into the course than the next guy, and everyone sinks a lot of time into the course. If you’ve got a tough course-load, you’ve got my sympathy. I can’t say this is any different from bio courses in other schools, but it’s rough when you add Pton’s grading into the mix. If you’ve got more questions about the pre-med, I’d be happy to pm you more info.</p>
<p>As a member of my school’s Honor Council, I’m appalled that you think you’re being “nice” and “helpful” by allowing him to cheat.</p>
<p>You’re actually hurting him and everyone else in the class along with yourself.</p>
<p>And when you get into the business of helping someone do something as dirty as cheating, then you really shouldn’t want their “friendship” anyways.</p>
<p>^ u mad? You know know everyone does it, right?</p>
<p>That doesn’t change how wrong it is.</p>
<p>And actually. I don’t cheat. Most of my friends don’t cheat. And if you get caught cheating, it’s a BIG deal at my school. You have to sign the Honor Code at the beginning of the year and you could potentially be expelled for cheating.</p>
<p>This includes plagiarism.</p>
<p>And it doesn’t help you to do it. It only hurts you, because you’re not actually learning the material or doing the work to the full extent to reap the full benefits.</p>
<p>Cheating is not justifiable.</p>
<p>How is it wrong? Working in teams and communicating with others to accomplish a task is a necessary skill in today’s workforce. </p>
<p>I’ve let people copy me or copied others 100+ times and have never even gotten close to being caught.</p>
<p>If you don’t want to break your friendship, next time he asks for answers, offer to help him or give a hint. That way you catalyze his learning process, rather then destroy it.</p>
<p>i agree with the hot issue. if he’s hot, you kinda just have to keep helping him… cause he’s hot…</p>
<p>but if he’s ugly, just start playing stupid. act like you don’t get any of it, and always say that the class confuses you. unless, you’re too proud of your academics to act like you don’t understand… which would be sadness. :(</p>
<p>hot or not. the emotion there should depend on whether or not OP likes the person.</p>
<p>Anyways, I would just slow down communication with the person, and eventually have a non-existent friendship with them, considering they only talk to you for hw.</p>
<p>If you still want to be friends, confront them about it, but don’t be too /b/itchy about it.</p>
