I'm about to go into a history timed exam on the bloody Cluniac Monks and I don't have a clue abouyt it at all...ARGH
I have about 15 minutes until the dreaded thing and have written out a set of cheat notes. I think I can get away with it but am I really only cheating on myself if I do this...damn my stupid morals.
Shall I cheat and get around a B grade or not cheat and get a D...
is cheating Right?!

cheat, it doesn't matter in the end. all tests are fuckery, and so is most formal education - get by it as quickly and easily as you can

Many have tried to cheat and failed.
Either you'll get spotted or some cunt will grass you up.

don't cheat - you can risk academic expulsion, not to mention your reputation as a student.
calm down. how about you take that set of cheat notes and read over it thoroughly? get someone else to study with real quick and have them drill you on the content of your notes.

I suggest you cheat, but, as punishment for your not having learnt your history, you must explain to us all the political and religous significance of the monks of Cluny, as well as a brief description of their daily routine.
That'll teach you.

If you cheat, you won't learn anything. Granted, most of the times that I studied I forgot what I learned after the test was over, so I guess it doesn't really matter.

This exam was no big deal. It's not offical, and doesn't even affected your placement in the course or any predicted grades.
So relax.

fact is i'm spending too much time on this bullshit at work. nevertheless if i had my way you'd be wearing a hair shirt twenty four hours a day for the next year. i really think some low level torture could set you right back onto the path of goodness. the problem with cheating is that the effects and problems are cumulative and compound, not immediate and simple. unfortunately you are only capable of responding to problems that are simple and immediate. you're digging a hole with a spoon and telling yourself there's no hole. you'll agree that there is indeed a hole at about 12 feet down. you might be better off taking up a narcotic habit to speed the process. i prescribe a large dose of negative stimulation, otherwise you're looking at a long, slow decline from which you'll likely not recover. then again, it's only fair to acknowledge that i don't know anything about these things at all, at all.

If you can get away with it, do it. I cheated in loads of my GCSE by hiding notes a pen! The fella next to me in my german exam saw me cheating, and just smiled like he didn't give a fuck.

Good, in the real world you would be congratulated for your ingenuity under pressure. Can you imagine going into a meeting without supporting reference material.

I feel bad for CS2x though because he sat in the same exam at me but for some reason he chose not to use cheat notes. I commended him on it however I will have the final laugh when the grades come...I hope
plaidzebra : thanks, I think I understand what you're saying..that by cheating I'm only deluding myself into thinking I'm better than I really am at the subject and when the final Big exam comes and I can't cheat I'll be fucked, right?
Xeron : you can post pictures now? Your posts will be on average 300% longer and 76.3% more pointless. Great..

Nice job! Stick it to them. I don't think there's anything wrong with cheating, most of this stuff is just unimportant formalities. If you can save yourself some time in lieu of studying, that's fabulous.
I had a bunch of physics formulas written on a sheet I stashed inside my calculator's battery niche, that was cool. I skipped so many classes that I needed to have something to level the playing field, so to speak. I haven't been in a physics class since, I just needed that credit, so it's all gravy.

"level the playing field"
great line Ophecks. Today I was simply levelling the playing field because there just so happens to be a few people in the class with a higher IQ than me who are sad enough to waste their lives at home revising. You made me feel a lot better about it. :)
Also the teachers a bitch so she can mark my good essay and feel disappointed she can't write a big D at the bottom of it.

no, i'm saying that the wheel of karma will whirl around and someday you'll enter the hospital needing surgery and in a twist of poetic justice the surgeon on staff at that moment will have cheated his way through medical school and will remove your testicles (which you don't need but you'd like to keep if you can) instead of your gall bladder.
i'm saying don't play dice with your balls, doc.

I would say that if knowledge of Cluniac Monks is vital to your planned future career, cheating is a bad idea. However if it's got nothing to do with what you want to do with your life, it's not a big deal.
