Watching people cheatThings I Love

Thursday, December 15th, 2005

While proctoring CSI 201’s final exam I was delightfully amused at how people cheat. First of all, it was open notes, slides, book, and previous tests exam so if you still need to cheat despite all those sources you really are special. Yet, people still did cheat. You would think that a cheater would be good at it by now, since most likely they have cheated at some other part of life, however they seem as unexperienced as pre-school children trying to cheat. Like one guy: its obvious you are cheating when you look around and flip aimlessly at the test and stop to write at the same time your buddy to your right is writing the answers. Oh, did I mention the excessive looking around to see where the other TA’s were? Sigh..

    All my non-1337 friends insist that all the kiddies in their high school honors programs and ap courses cheated their way through all their classes, and the only thing distinguishing the ap from the honors was that the ap were better at cheating. Some of the online people I know claim more-or-less the same, and some of them are in honors/ap themselves. And actually, the one college friend who’s in the honors program with me now tried to cheat on a final last year–very badly. Along with the rest of the honors program, minus me and other Emilys. Now call me crazy, but I never cheated in high school–believe me or not–but is that what non-honors people said about the honors/ap kids in our hs? I never noticed any cheating myself, but I am fairly unobservant. Or are they all just jealous? :\

    How are you, Andre?

    This is your school, right? You know, the guy in the image looks like he might snap at any minute. Is that what Albany does to you?
