Is cheating fair for the sake of higher education and to save time?

Life is a boomerang! Whether it is your thoughts, actions or behavior, sooner or later they return - and with great accuracy. \n\nYour friend has done this for the admission and scholarship and he is getting it. We can understand that. But scholarship for what? admission for what? To study, right? And scholarship (almost in every University) offers some obligation as for example scoring a minimum level of mentioned CGPA (like 3.5 or above) to continue with the scholarship. Do you think he is able to do that?\n\nLet think like this, he got an admission to complete his undergraduate studies and for maintaining his scholarship he needs to work hard to score required CGPA which only good and seriosu students can. If he can score that and do really works hard this time then I would say he is paying off for his past and he is a good student. But, if he fails to do that then what will he do? What?\n\nNo answer. \n\nYes, he will again cheat. But, for how long. This path has no end unless he now become serious and work really hard and try to be a good student.\n\nLet us watch him. What he does. Time will answer.\n\nAnd, for your convenience I will say just work hard and study well. After graduating and as you will get a job you will be able to earn a lot of money which is worth getting a scholarship or financial aid by cheating.\n\nYou can send a annonomyous letter to the University authority and inform them about this. But, if your friend is a poor guy and really needs scholarship and is doing well then no need to do that. The university will itself find it out if he performs bad in his education. I believe as your friend had done this for admission and scholarship thus it proves he wants education and he is quite poor or unable to pay for his education. But, if he is doing that for fun, it will end very soon and I think you have to do anything for that.\n\nJust, focus on your study and eard good grades and then apply for scholarship if you want.\n\nLife is too long then we think and cheating will only make it a hell. A long journey in the hell is not a good thing.\n\nRelax and keep learning from your experience.\n\nGoodLuck!

I do not know but I know this: you are using this service to cheat on an exam and steal answers just to get a good grade. If tis is what we people have resorted to I have little faith in humanity.

At the level of higher education (this section that you posted in), I don't think colleges and universities should be in the practice of "encouraging" student growth beyond the awarding of grades for the work performed. By the time students get to college, they should be prepared to take responsibility for their own learning. Things like pats on the back, gold stars, "recognition" banquets with motivational speakers, etc, are for K-12 students and football players.

Don't cheat, Taking a class is about LEARNING, not getting the grade you want...

Why does it seem like people are just using this site to cheat on homework?

Academically, it can be. However, there are hidden "costs" involved. The social climate in higher education settings may be too emotionally or psychologically taxing for younger people. It really depends on one's emotional maturity in addition to their academic prowess.

And another thing - won't this person's teacher know (s)he cheated, when the assignment turned in clearly isn't in the student's usual wording or of his/her usual quality? In this day and age, teachers must be pretty good at spotting "cut-and-paste-from-wikipedia"-papers, as well as papers written by other people than the student in question.\nAnyway, thanks for bringing this up, it's nice to see that a lot of people are somewhat annoyed by students using Y! answers as their free, effortless homework-service. :o)

Mediocre. I feel that online schools take away  from the experience of being in a live college environment. Although the at home convenience may be helpful and beneficial to others, i think that everyone should participate from a college campus. However i believe the education offered is the same. Also i do believe that you learning may be easier when in the classroom setting.

Why do you even want to cheat? Just study hard, and do your best, and you will be able to pass.

So you want to cheat rather than learn?  Why not ask your teacher for help?  Or a tutor?

I know the answer. Yes, as long as the school is accredited. As far as the other person says that it is too easy to cheat. NO! I am doing this degree online. It is not my first. Well, before you do a test you put in your social and all other information. THe test starts and is timed. You cannot go back and change the answers nor can you take too long or it will be marked incorrect. Also, If you try to pull up a website during the test. The test will shut down and you will recieve a 0> Next some schools are starting to do a typing imprint. Meaning for the first couple of days, you do typing only. If your typing pattern is off during one of your test. The test halts, and you will have to enter a series of codes that only you should have to complete each question. It is much harder to do your degree online. I have had both sides. As a HR director myself, I have hired many workers with an accredited degree. So YES< YES< and YES

I think you still have a chance.\nDefinitely I would recommend in your college applications that you explain what happened.\nColleges will ask you if you've ever cheated. Tell the truth. but then in the supplementary essay they usually give you the chance to elaborate on what happened. You could probably use that as an opportunity to make the cheating incident not sound quite as bad.

I'm a teacher and while I don't condone cheating, I don't recommend kids telling on each other.  It's not a good way to make friends.  You know the right thing to do (not cheat) and that's what's important.  The girl in your class may get caught.  If not, she's just cheating herself out of a good education.

I can sit here and say.."You should not cheat..it's morally wrong..yadda yadda yadda" But I'm not going to give you that lecture when i myself have cheated! yea its wrong and i shouldn't have done it....but sometimes it happens! I dont do it often, but i admit its happened! so if you really want to go through with cheating...i find the best way is to write answers on a tiny sheet of paper and place in your chair between your legs....what teacher is gonna look there! by doing this, you can look at the answers with your eyes and not make it obvious by moving your head! I suggest not cheating b/c by doing it you dont learn anything! it bites you in the butt later down the line...but its your life...you control it.

Yes, this is to show proof of a pupils work in case of a dipute over grades/cheating.\nAlso several Universities have begun making copies of test answers and coursework submitted in an attempt to cut down on students cheating. A system is currently in development that will scan course work and make copies of students handwriting. when a change of handwriting is found between papers, the computer will check against other students work to check for this basic kind of cheating.\nthere are also programs in use that will check on course work to see if there is any duplicity for typed submitions. It checks sentence length and use of punctuation, to see when this varies. it is not proof of someone cheating, but it is used as a guide to warn lecturers that the student may not have done the work, or has copied it from somewhere.
