I totally agree with this.
I'm not particularly proud of cheating on assignments and exams, but I've only studied twice in my life and those are both times I've cheated for a final. I'm good at picking up concepts and what not, so I never really had to study or anything. The first time I cheated it was for Grade 9 French (I suck at French) I copied off the person beside me and got perfect (I needed a 50% to pass). The 2nd time was for 1st year Psychology in Uni. My way of cheating was to cut off a 500 mL label off a coca cola bottle, copy the sizing for the label, photoshop all the ingredients away and the words then add cheat notes to where the ingredients would usually be, it took a while to get the text size and font down but it looked totally legit, cause no one is going to expect a coke bottle. But then I realized those Aberfoyle water bottles would probably be easier cause the label is paper and looks like normal printing.

As my old teacher once said with all the planning and efforts of perfecting the art of cheating. One could have spent all of those valuable hours actually studying. Instead of plotting and cutting corners. LOL

I still think you're an idiot. And yes I can have my own opinion. My opinion is that you don't deserve the grades you got in the classes you cheated in, thus I am going to brand you a cheater.
I'm the idiot? You cheated in high school.
I don't deserve the grades in university..ok i accept your theory...but it would apply to your grades in highschool...but of course your the exception to your own ideology
I don't cheat anymore..I don't have to.

Actually I'm not an exception at all, b/c I got caught cheating, in turn failed, and in turn got the grade I deserved.

no....other than scribbling down a few formulas on my desk before the exam was handed out, which i almost never ended up needing to use anyways....I was way too scared of getting caught...
Honestly though, I think we put too much emphasis on marks...GPA is usually not a good predictor of whom will be successful in the real world anyways...

I may have also cheated in stats also...but the percentage of cheaters and people you deem brainless with no abilities and of course idiots are far greater then self loving, hypocritical, freedom fighters like yourself.

All the definitions of 4 chapers on one small little paper often called " Micro Copy "........Just take any regular photocopier and reduce the size of the image about 45 to 50% out of 100% and this is what you get.
You can make it more smaller to suit your own needs.

Pfft that's the oldest trick in the book, I'm surprised you never got caught with that. The best way I've seen that concept being used was when a student came to a test early between periods in high school. He taped it to the ceiling of the class, so when he's pretending to think he would look up and tap his chin with a pencil to make it look geniune, it was pretty hilarious cause there was about 4-5 people staring directly up at the ceiling lol
