Journal 20

If you were having difficulty on an important test and could safely cheat by looking at someone else’s paper, would you do so?

I THINK I WOULD BECAUSE EVERY STUDENT ALWAYS WANTS TO GET AN A ON A TEST WHATEVER IT TAKES. I DONT WANT TO STUDY 2 HOURS FOR A TEST AND FIND OUT THAT THE TEST IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. THAT WOULD NOT BEFAIR I THINK I DESERVE AN A FOR ATLEAST STUDYING SOMETHING.

No i wouldn't cheat because i could get caught and fail the test. i should have been studying harder for the test.

no i dont think i would cheat by looking at someone else's paper, besides, why would i need to cheat on some one's test if i know im gonna pass the test anyways. and also if i did cheat by looking on some1 else's paper, how would i know if they have the right answers or not.

well i'm not sure. It sort of depends I guess. If i really don't know the answer, then i would. But if I think I know what it is, then I would guess. However, if I'm sitting next to a person that I know isn't doing so well, then there would be no point in looking. I would probably get it wrong anyway.

first of all!!! I not stupid! your a teacher, but ok fine...maybe... it depends on what test it is...i will feel guilty if its a big quiz so i wont cheat but if its just like a review and it wont count or anything then...

no im just kidding i wouldnt because cheating is bad and that is not a way of accomplishing life and if you cheat once you are gonna want to keep on cheating and that is not good.I would ask the teacher before or after the test could i take it over if i get a bad grade or if i am not happy with my grade.

No I wouldn't cheat off of someone else's paper. I would not take the chance and besides, they could have the wrong answer. It is wrong to cheat because if you do good it wont be because of what you did. It would be because of someone else.

no i would not because peoples answers are usually wrong and also i dont trust nobodys information but mine so i would just simply guess than to cheat

No because even if its a smart person they can still have it wrong and plus when i get lost on a answer i just guess and if i get caught i would be in bigger trouble and i wouldnt have a chance to retake the test

Blogger brandon_watson said...

No because cheating is bad and it is not the way to succeed, and if you get caught, then you get a fail or getting in trouble. then even i did cheat on somebody paper, i wouldn't know if that person have the right answer's or not.

NO, I WOULDN'T CHEAT OFF SOMEONE'S PAPER, BECAUSE THEN I WOULD GET IN TROUBLE AND THEY WILL CALL MY PARENTS. IF I WANT A GOOD GRADE ON A TEST I SHOULD JUST STUDY HARD AND BELIEVE IN MYSELF THAT I WOULD DO GOOD. IF YOU STUDY REALLY HARD FOR A TEST THEN YOU SHOULD GET A GOOD GRADE BECAUSE YOU EARNED IT. IF SOMEONE DIDN'T STUDY AND THEY CHEAT AND DON'T GET CAUGHT THEN THEY DIDN'T SHOULDN'T GET THAT GRADE.

depends if the test is really hard then yeah ill just take a peek at that persons papare because its not like ima copy all of his answers and keep cheating all the time. Just hopefully if I did, i wont get used to it cuz that will be bad and ill never learn on my own.

8:19 AM  
Blogger jocelyn_avila said...

NO OF COURSE NOT I WOULD NOT CHEAT I WOULD GET IN A LOT OF TROUBLE FOR COPYING. IF SOMEONE DID,IT WOULD PROBABLY BE BECAUSE THEY WANT TO GET A GOOD GRADE.OR BECAUSE THEY WERE TO LAZY TO STUDY.

I think that if i were having a diffuclty doing my test i would not look at somebody elses paper because i would just be cheating my self and i would show the teacher that i didnt undrestand so maybe she could go over it more and might let me retake the test.But if i didnt know what to do i would just try my best and hope for good results.

NO BECAUSE THERE IS ALWAYS A CHANCE THAT THERE WRONGE LIKE YOU AND CHEATING ISNT GOING TO GET ME ANY THING GOOD

Blogger Alma Luna said...

i would say no because if i was cheating of someone elses paper it doesn't show if i understand the material. by cheating you never know if that person has the right answers and you are taking the same risk of not answering the question so take a chance and try to do your best!its best you earn what you deserve rather than CHEATING!

no because its not the right thing to do and u should never copy from someone else cause most times u get caught and u know whats going to happen in the future.

if i could cheat i would im not gonna lie becuase sumtimes i 4get 2 study and if they let me cheat u know what they say when in rome do as the romans do that means im gonna cheat 4 u smart people that doesnt know what that means.

10:09 AM  
Blogger marycele said...

No, because I wouldn't know if the person had the write answer. Anyway I don't need to cheat because I'm to smart to cheat of somebody else paper. I will be to scared to cheat because I could get caught and it will be even worse. If I just fail the test then maybe my teacher will let me retake the quiz. That will be better because I will then have time to study.

10:10 AM  
Blogger nelson said...

no. i woldnt because i wouldnt fel right knowing that i didnt earned that grade and its not the best thing to do because you dont learn nothing. you should think about your feture and you shouldnt lie about it just be responsible and get what you deserve this will teach you a lesson and you will study next time.

10:11 AM  
Blogger Shadi Valenzuela said...

no, I wouldn't because they might have the wrong answer and it is probabaly better if you just try and think a little further or match the answers with what they are asking you for if its multiple choice, use process of elimination and if you still can't get anything then just take your best guess at it and hope its the right one.

No, i would not copy off someone's paper. (or would I?) It depends, every choice i make has it's flaw. if i cheat then the person i'm cheating on also could not have studied or is also having problems with the test as well. If i don't cheat, i can just guess and try to remember what the teacher said about the subject in the past. if i guess i could get the answers wrong or i could get them right. it's like trying to hit a target 20 feet away with a dart, BLINDFOLDED!!!!!!!!!!it's really risky if you guess. if you cheat, you will have the same answers as the person that you cheated on, and there's a possibility that the teacher might see that and question you and the person you cheated on. if that happens then there's three things that will happen: 1.you will both get F's , 2. you can re-do the test and have a different score and the other person will get the same answers as before then you will get an F, or 3. you both could get A's and you can say it's ironic and the teacher might let you slide, but she will be suspicious. That won't happen to me though sometimes the answers just come to me like i have a good memory or something, but the chances of that happening is 75% (in my estimate). bottom line, i would never cheat, i would just try my best and hope that i won't fail.

uuuuhhhhhh.....no.cuz if i were to copy then then what if i get all wrong.i woul at least try and get them wrong by myself the copy off of someone and get the wrong. i would rather take a guess or something.

Blogger arielle austin said...

no i wouldnt because how you know that the person next to you has the right answwers. i wouldnt cheat anyways i study for my test before the test comes up. and some teachers know if you cheated or not.and it is not worth it because its better if you try because if you get caught you get no points if you try at least you at least get some points.

no i wouldnt probably cheat if the person next to me was really not that smart, but if I knew that person was going to pass I would cheat because that would make me pass. It would all depend on the person who sat next to me. But then again I would feel guilty if it was an important test. so no wouldnt really cheat because i am not like that. but then i would if it was a important test and it was worth a big chunk of my grade.so it depends on the person next to me and how important the test is.

If i could cheat on a test and i know i wouldnt becuase what goes around comes around. Later in my life something worse will happen because of what i did. I dont want to feel guilty for something that i could have easily prevented myself from doing. To me cheatibg is for people who are stupid and lazy and wants to barely get by in life. I strive to be the complete opposite.

Blogger Shanna-kayCrawford said...

No i wouldnt because i want to learn from my mistakes.I want to try my best in whatever i do...so therefore i wouldnt cheat.ANd who knows they might have wrong answers.But if it was somebody i know thats really smart on whatever it is that we are doing i aint even gone lie HECK YEA i'll cheat.!!

Blogger AmY rAmOs said...

maybe i guess i only cheat when i have to .but sometimes i feel bad cheating so i mostly dont . i dont know i've cheated before so its like nothing. i know that almost everyone in this school has cheated so its no bid deal anymore.and also they really strick about cheating at this school so if i would i would of gotten caught and in trouble so its a bad idea anyway.

i dont know it all depends on what test im i taking and who sitting right beside me.If i know these stuff then ofcourse i wouldnt cheat but if my memory is fuzzy ill skip the one i dont know then do them later to see if i rememer if not i might resort to cheating depending on 2 things.First see if the problem you skiped are important or not if they are then second it all depends on whos sitting by me if there smart then i might copy but if there not i might just guess and thats about all the conditions i have except the problem has to be hard.

If I were having difficulty on an important test I wouldn't cheat because I would try my best because that’s how I am. If not I would take a good guess. But I am sort of good at remembering things so I don’t think I will cheat. Also if I were trying to guess I would use process of elimination. So if I would have the opportunity to cheat I wouldn’t because you will end up getting caught.

Well I'm not going to lie I will do it if I had the chance to do it, but I don't think I had to becuz I'm really smart... Well the point its that I will do it if I had the chance....

if i were having difficulty on an important test and i had the opportunity to cheat i know i wouldnt. i know i will have the temptation and eagerness to look and get it over with but i know i wouldnt learn anything and probably get in trouble. but every student has that point in their life when they get dessparate and the only way out to their problem is cheating. cheating is a disgraceful thing to do and even though i have had the temptation to do so i wouldnt because i dont need to rely on any one else but myself.

♦♦its againts the rules here at animo but i would only if they were smart and i didnt study the nght before.i would also cheat if i was being lazy and didnt feel like reading over the questions and the answeres.♦♦

well i know i shouldn't but i probably would.it depends on the person who you are copying if they R dumb i wouldn't copy but if i knew they studied and they R passing this class i would copy. it a big temptation, specially if you R failing a class and want 2 get yo grade up.IT ASO DEPENDS WHAT CLASS I IN

No because you should study on your own and if you study then there no reason for you to cheat. And if you do cheat and a teacher sees you then you will get a F so there really no reason to cheat.

IF I HAD DIFFICULTIES IN AN IMPORTANT TEST AND I COULD HAVE THE CHANCE 2 CHEAT AND LOOK AT SOMEONES PAPER I WOULD NOT BECAUSE FIRST OF ALL, I WOULDN'T LIKE ANYONE ELSE 2 LOOK AT MY PAPER, SECOND OF ALL, BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT CHETING IS THE WROUNG KEY 2 SUCCEED AND THIRD OF ALL, I THINK THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE 2 BE LOOKING AT NO ONES PAPER BECAUSE I WOULD OF BEEN PREPARED AND CHEATING IS NOT RIGHT IN MY OPINION, BUT THEN IN THE OTHER HAND THEIS OTHER PEOPLE THAT DO IT BECAUSE THEIR NOT CONFIDENT OF THEIR SELFES AND THATS NOT RIGHT SO I REALLY RECCOMMEND PEOPLE 2 BE READY AND STUDY AND 2 REMEMBER THAT PRACTICE LEADS U 2 EXCELLENCE.

Blogger miguel salcedo said...

my answer is no!!!!! i wouldn't cheat on an important test because its important and anything is better than a ZER0. PLUS IT DEPENDS ON THE PERSON NEXT TO YOU. IF ITS SOMEONE THAT REALLY DOESN'T DO GOOD THEN NO AND IF ITS A PERSON THAT HAS A GUARANTEED "A" THEN I DON'T KNOW MAYBE JUST A FEW LIKE MAYBE 5 QUESTIONS BUT I WOULD STILL TRY MY BEST AND CHOOSE THE BEST ANSWER SO I CAN SAY I EARNED IT AND NOT HAVE THE GUILT OF HAVE CHEATED. BUT AGAIN IT DEPENDS. YOU AREN'T THINKING WHEN YOU DO IT YOU JUST WANT TO GET A GOOD GRADE YOU ARE NERVOUS AND ARE JUST FOCUSED ON PASSING IT YOU HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE

IN MY POINT OF VIEW I THINK I WOULD STUDY FIRST AND THEN WELL IF I SEE I DONT REALLY DONT GET THEN THEN I WILL DO THE BEST I CAN AND IF I REALLY DONT WANT TO FLUNG THE TEST THEN IN WOULD LOOK AT SOMEONES ELSES PAPER BUT NOT FOR THE WHOLE TEST. BUT I THINK I WOULD REALLY WONT DO IT!

It Depends on whoi would cheat on though....if i knew i was smarter than the other person then i wouldnt cheat because whats the point of getting a smaller grade.
durr durr
and if there was a A person next to me i would but only if it was writing questions because the teacher would notice and if its a sentence i would be able to change it aorund a bit and the teacher would be normal.And if i was failing class and the test could change my entire grade then i would!
yeah!

I would say if was in that situation i would cheat i think because i get tempted ro i dont kno but yea i think i would because i think to me grades are real importan but if its like a quiz i wouldnt .

Blogger cameron austin luvz me said...

Yes but u would have to sit next to a smart person so you can at least get some of them right, so you cant sit next to a dumb person because then you both will fail. So I say yeah I would cheatif I was next to a very smart person because you said it would be safe so yeah,onl around the smart people.Who wouldnt.

i would not cheat on someone elses paper test event though i didn't know the answer. i am usually always prepared when it comes to tests but i would not cheat off someones paper. i mean what if the person you intend to cheat off of has the wrong answer or they guessed or something there is no point in doing so. i think i will just guess or use my brain. i think that no one should cheat because everyone has to get the grade by how much they got prepared and not by cheating. and besides the only one you really cheat is yourself because what is going to happen when you go to college and you don't have anyone. you will just fail all the time that's why is important to not cheat off of no one

{To tell you the truth I would cheat. I would only cheat if I didn’t know the answers and if it was worth a lot of points. I mean who hasn’t cheated before. But if I knew the answers for the test then I wouldn’t cheat. I’m smart enough to learn from my mistakes. So to answer your question yes I would cheat safely if the time was right .!!!!}

IF I WERE DOING VERY BAD ON A TEST UMMMMMMM NO I WILL NOT CHEAT B/C THAT IS WRONG. WELL IF I REALLY DONT GET IT MABYE I WILL. THE REASON WHY I SAID NO I WILL NOT IS B/C ITS A SLIGHT CHANCE THAT I WILL GET CAUGHT.
