I never cheated on a test in college, although judging by my GPA I probably should have. hehe.

Little bits here and there. Not a complete test. I had a problem remembering exact numbers for things. Still do.

I took a guy's final for $50 my freshman year. It was a class where the final was just the last test and non-cumulative. It was a very easy class (basic American gov't stuff) but the guy didn't care about it at all. It was in the big Kildee auditorium, and very loosely proctered. He just slid his bubble sheet over to me and acted like he was taking the test.

Never cheated on my own work.

I got a poly sci final at 12:00. Can you be there? :)

Cheated all the time. College is the biggest scam of them all...don't get me wrong I loved my time at ISU but it's a racket and anyone that says different is full of it. I could have taken about a 6-8 week course in my profession and learned as much as I did my whole time in college. I say cheat, get your degree and make your money.

I have for an online class before. This was before they got smart and programmed the OS on the cpu to only let you have one window open at one time. Plus the test proctors were idiots.

Yes, this is the answer... on a high level Calculus test where we were allowed a page of notes.... I might have had one or two of the problems worked out beforehand on the page of notes.

I have an Advanced Torts Law final at 1:30. Sorry.

The class was Poli Sci 215 w/Dr. Politics. I loved the class, this guy couldn't care less. It was almost fun taking it twice, becuase I would go the other way on the questions where I had a hard time deciding between two answers.

There is a layer of truth to this. I dont know if its 100 percent accurate, but I do agree with some points. If you are into research, then college really will benefit you completely. For the average joe like me, college was a means to a career and nothing more. The 4 year bach is an extension of highschool. Grad school is where it counts.

Well, I guess I'd like my doctor to take a longer course than 8 weeks!:cool: That said I'd bet a vast majority of profession's would be better served by apprenticeship and on the job training. Oh, and we all wouldn't be saddled with tens of thousands in debt when we finish...

Had a high school buddy who lost his med school acceptance for academic misconduct so the risk doesn't seem worth it.
