Well, as a TA. most of the student where i'm at cheat on their HW. why? because it is way faster.

In Bulgaria, quality of education is so awesome, you don't need to cheat in order to finish university with no relevant skillset whatsoever :D

"I want to cheat, but can't cheat, because if I get caught, I'm a mashed potatoe."

Almost never cheated back in school (grubbing the high school diploma /abbi/matura) ... it was rather easy to do but unnecessary.
There were most certainly a lot of people who cheated and could keep their mouth shut, i for one would consider cheating
successfully about as valuable as "acing" through sheer learning only.

Its ludicrous anyway what is considered as learning/education/ethical and how its applied in real life.
Cheating guise might even have an edge over "absolutely i never cheat ever"-guise in some way ...

Oh, while in university ... rarely but i have cheated more than once where the opportunity to do so was
basically inviting you [overseers gone] (consulting with the neighbor, cram out learning material read it from there,
or just use the single sheet of paper with info you were allowed to bring in < as if that weren't a cheat already).

I'm an engineering student and TA at a large university. Most instructors have stopped having graded homework because it is all copies of the solutions manual, they now have an abundance of quizzes. Anecdotally, I have seen a ton of people using old tests to study for tests. When I told someone that I don't do that, he freaked out and thought that it was absurd that I don't cheat. I think I was literally the only one not using old tests in a class of 70 people.

I rarely cheat except for some online class exams. Seriously though, why only give us one chance to take the chapter exam with no practice test? hmph

Even then, I put in my answers and check and change for the higher grade. I have a 3.92 GPA and I intend to keep it that way.. Still have a loong ways to go and can't really afford a 'B.' I really wish that school placed a higher emphasis on learning the material instead of memorizing (then again, that's not easy to quantify)

When I was in high school people rarely cheated because you would get suspended. Most of my college classes you didn't have to cheat because everything was open book. Most schools are about money and rarely value your education and punish teachers that hold students accountable.

I didn't cheat because I KNEW that I'll get caught, so really I cant even say "Why risk it?".
Generally I'm against cheating, but knowing pointless staff, which no sane person has to know any way, will make me think of cheat-sheets.

EDIT: Considering that most of us are from different countries, which each as different education system and ways to do exams, what is considering cheating may wary.

I think your on the wrong forum since this is a gaming site. Perhaps you have more luck and better results on Reddit.

that's maybe lame, but I never cheated nor even tried to cheat..
I often had the chance and I saw a lot of people around me cheating, but never liked to pass something this way.

Unable to cheat even if I wanted, all my university exams consist in a oral discussion with the professor.
In high school I didn't cheat, I actually studied plus there were oral exams as well.

Not really,its not worth the risk at this point, i lost a test because of that, more than enough to have to repeat the all class again next year

I don't cheat and I honestly think it is not something anyone would do at university level.

Personally I'm not the kind of person who cheats, on anything for that matter. The actual reason for that may probably be between the fact that cheating on something feels like a betrayal to my parents and my own pride.

At university level, I doubt anyone would cheat due to the ethical implications. I mean , for example, if you are studying to be a doctor, only an extremely unethical person would cheat on exams ( which implies he doesn't know the material ) and later on in his life jeopardize someones life with his flawed understanding of the trade. That is one of the first thing that we were taught in engineering class, you don't play with peoples lives.

Cheating wouldnt be a problem if they didnt fucking measure you with the number of one test. (coming from someone who is about to drop university to learn something useful somewhere else)

I used cheat sheets in high school quite often. At least in spanish classes :D.
However, I cheated only once in university, in a japanese class because I already failed the exam once and failing it again would mean a lot of trouble for me. I wasn't very happy about it. I didn't cheat in my university studies as it felt as I'd shame myself. Not in front of other students since it wasn't unusual for some to cheat, but in front of myself.

I don't cheat because I am afraid my partner will find out.
Oh, wait you mean for exams?

I do not have balls to cheat but I do not mind admitting that to my friends. After all being able to cheat is nothing to be proud of. I pass most of my exams without sweating too much anyways.

The thought to cheat didn't even enter my head. Not even going to paint it as making a choice based on ethics, it never ocurred to me as an option.

Part of it might have been because I didn't particualry care about my education, I never tried too hard, and I wouldn't have cared enough to have cheated. That said, I don't cheat in other areas of my life where I do care about stuff. I've never dicked people over in the workplace to give me an advantage, for example. Edit: Actually, that's a bad example, I don't care that much about work either!

I don't cheat because the purpose of school/college/education is for you to learn new stuff and develop your skills.
And when you pass a college/school year through cheating, you are skipping all the info/skills of that year, and moving on to the next year with your previous set of skills and knowledge left un-changed.
And if you managed to cheat your way out of college, then your college is fucked up and it exports fucked up human resources, who will fuck up the society when they mingle inside it.

I studied electronic serviceing in a trade college. In certain tests cheating was encouraged. The idea bieng that in the real world. you would not get paid to to sit there doing nothing while you try to solve a problem. You would use any source available to get the job done. Discussing and then arriving at the correct solution, possibly with many conflicting ideas, is how things work in the workplace.
