<p>i just had my AP chemistry midterm. The teacher allowed us to use our calculator for the whole test. HE NEVER said that we could not have anything on our calculator and because of this i had solubility rules on the graphing calculator... and he saw them and took my calculator and impled im going to get a 0 and plagarism will go on my final record.</p>

<p>i HATE OUR SCHOOL BC I KNOW I WONT EVEN BE ABLE TO DEFEND MYSELF, THE DEAN WILL JUST SAY NO AND GIVE ME A 0 AND REPORT IT TO COLELGES</p>

<p>MY CALCULUS TEACHER TOLD US THAT WE COULD PUT IN ANY PROGRAM WE WANT ON OUR CALCULATOR BECAUSE THEY DONT ERASE IT ON THE AP EXAM.... WHAT ARGUMENTS CAN I BRING TO SHOW THAT IT WASNT PLAGARISM, AS I KNOW IT WAS LEGAL TO DO</p>

<p>Add a line of credit into the program code to show where you got it from?</p>

3

<p>Unless your teacher explicitly said you could not use the solubility rules it's fine. However, you are on shaky ground because you cannot use this on the actual AP test- I'm surprised your teacher encouraged the class to cheat.</p>

4

<p>My AP Chem teacher allowed us to use only scientific calculators on all of our tests last year -- seems to make the most sense to me.</p>

5

<p>first of all why do u put solubility rules on ur calculator, second of all why he will find out ?(im assuming that u were using it and got caught), but because he didn't say u cannot use the program on the calculator, ur arguement needs to concentrate on wut ur teacher said, and if they still dont accept it, u might want to sue them in the court, they don't wanna get into trouble i think.</p>

<p>this is my opinion so im not sure about it, some one help him!</p>

6

<p>that's ridiculous!! sue them??? i don't think so...why does everyone think doing that is okay? its closer to cheating than you may think</p>

7

<p>ok, stonecold23, did ur teacher say what type of calculator u can use?and what about normally, what type of calculator is he allow u to use? this question is the essence of whether u cheated or not.</p>

8

<p>and did he say that u cannot use any calculator that is built with keyboard and memory?</p>

9

<p>he said a TI-83 graphing calculator is always acceptable</p>

<p>he never tells us to erase memory, or never even said that anything could not be put on it.</p>

10

<p>then u are righteous, go sue them</p>

11

<p>can u really sue a schools decision?</p>

12

<p>i don't think that it'd hold up in court...at all</p>

13

<p>urr... use your common sense. that's called CHEATING! period.</p>

14

<p>Its cheating, but its not plaigarism. I'd agree with a zero on the one test, but not in the class. And it sure as hell shouldn't be reprted to colleges. If you're arguement doesn't work, you might want to bring in your parents on this one.</p>

15

<p>I think you should bring your parents immdiately</p>

16

<p>You should take glucose101's advice and check the green sheet before meeting with teacher/department chair/principal.
The penalty for cheating or plagiarism will vary from incident to incident.
Normally the 1st time is to give 0 on the test, the 2nd time is to fail the class and the 3rd time would be dismissal from the school.
I don't think any educator would like to kill your future.
Good luck!</p>

<p>stonecold23, what your calculus teacher said is true. When I took calculus, my teacher told me the exact same thing! But that is only for the actual AP test. I think it's cheating if you actually do that for school... they have their own rules, which are different from the AP test rules.</p>
