Also, if I had your Class I'm sure I would find a way to cheat, and then do it as I most of the time do. Going into my junior year and have a 3.3 GPA. Been cheating my arse off in every way possible ever since freshman year. Still parry every week while the nerds bust there arse studying and I still end up with a better grade half the time.had my last final today, and when the teacher walked out started copying off the girl next to me who I knew would know most of the answers. Teacher walked back in and never suspected a thing.

Well for starters, in the frat thread, a couple of people talked about having copies of exams. Another spoke of a cousin attending the exam to help the fratsters out. I clarified the title. Happy?
Thank you very much.
Ehh, having copies of old exams isn't cheating. You can use it as a study guide to get an idea on what questions may be asked.
A lot of teachers I had, several years ago, made multiple exams for the class. So if you some how got a copy of the current test you are taking, bravo. You deserve to cheat.

I never cheated on any exams. I did go to the library and peruse copies of a particular chemisty exam. This tatic was encouraged by the chemisty professor and was not considered beating the system.
Using another student's exam from a previous semester would be fair game too. Because it is likely that the professor would change the problems on the exam.
During one semester, I was tipped off by a graduate assistant that my Physics professor was using even numbered problems in the textbook homework as actual questions on quizzes. The homework was using Odd numbered problems. So I used that information to prepare for the weekly quizes. I knew that if I could solve the even numbered questions at the end of the chapter, then I would see one of those questions on a quiz.

I would've beat your arse if you did something like that to me to get me kicked out of school.

Ole baw in my frat sat next to me when took tests. We were on academic probation and I actually wanted to have a formal so I put my answer sheet as close as possible to his so he could look and somehow he still got a C

In chemical engineering , the exams were open book, open notes, any calculator you wanted . Average was still a 60 . Not sure what it's like today .

Because the notion of memorizing useless information is well... Useless.
Never had a test in grad school. All research or project based assignments.

I wrote papers for money. Frat boys were lazy as frick, but parents sent money every month, and I was there to collect.

I used a test bank for 60% of my classes. For those that don't know, professors can get pre-made tests from their textbook publishers and about 80% of business teachers use them. If they are too lazy to make their own tests I don't feel bad.

I never said I didn't study to. And like the guy above me stated, smarter not harder, so if the answers are there for the trading by any means take them.

This is kind of like a class I took.
Took Managerial Statistics from an old-school professor in grad school.
He let us use our books, but would not let us use notes. The test was timed for an hour. Weighted questions. The test usually averaged 4-5 questions/problems.
I would put post- it notes sticking out of my book so I wouldn't waste time trying to find shite in the chapters. Prof saw them and thought they were smart. Most of the students spent a lot of time trying to look up answers/formulas and they would run out of time on the test.

Cheating is a large part of society and the working world. If you can figure out a way to cheat and not get caught it shows efficiency and creativity to me. I always found shortcuts and ways to get other people to do work for me. Now I do that for a living. Seems like I was prepared in college.

It is better to cheat than repeat. So, when in doubt, let your eyes roam about.
