I know most of us have ever been cheating to win or do something. ^^ I've ever been cheating too. But lately, I hate cheating a lot, it's because I've just got cheated by my friend in playing game several month ago, and then I lose and got ashamed by his friends. ^^ Because that, I start to try not to cheating anymore, especially when playing games, and not to cheating in doing the school's exam. ^^(Before that, I've been given the "Cheating Master" reward by my friend in my class^^).
So what's your opinion about cheating? Do you like to do it, or you hate it but like to do it? ^^ thanks for participating.

I cheat... sometimes if I always forget a formula, I'll put it on my calculator so I can look at it on the test... I always feel bad when I do it...

@trestresfruity

Me too, in the past I saved all of the Physics formula to the calculator. So I've never studied Physics, even it's the final exams. ^^ But I think after that, that to save the formulas in the calculator doesn't too interesting for me, even it can't enlarge my curiousity to the formulas origination. ^^

Cheating is the easy way to get the answer without learning the material. You'll never get far by cheating and even if you do it will catch up to you and the consequences will be very harsh.

I'm no saint and have cheated a few times on homework and tests in highschool, rather, most of the time I was the one providing answers to my friends, and that would be collaboration than cheating. But it's still Academic Dishonesty. Now that I think back on it, we did come up with some creative ways to communicate the answers...

In college, not a chance. If your caught cheating, facillitating, collaborating, etc...they will fail you for the course, mark it on your transcript that you failed due to Academic Dishonesty and expel you from the institution. To a lesser extent, you will fail the assignment and be suspended. Either way, the punishments are harsh and you won't have a good reputation among the professors, TAs and other students. If your planning on cheating in college to get by, your better off NOT going to college...having an XF on your transcript or atleast that's what they call if here for FAILURE DUE TO ACADEMIC DISHONESTY, which also includes having formulas in your calculator if the professor says you can't and most likely they will, is terrible for your portfolio. It will stay there for other institutions AND employers to see.

If they see you cheated in college, they'll most likely think your a slacker with no real skill or desire to learn and work and won't hire you.

Apart from that, the whole point of going to school it to learn and pass from the knowledge you obtained, not the plain answers you need to right down on paper.

Only when I really need too, or when I beat the game, then get bored, then I start typin' in codes

Well i used to cheat a lot but right now i'm trying to change that...

anyway, i used to cheat at everything...you name it...

Ii know its not good to cheat...but sometimes i just do, at school in elementary i cheat all the time, the teacher might be talking to another teacher or out of the room for one min and the class starts talking and sharing answers, or everyone shares white-out, ruler, or eraser and when we pass those things around,we write answers on them, thats how we cheat in school tests. but im grade 9 now >_> ii dunt really play games so ii dunt cheat for that, and nope didnt cheat on people or anything!

This brings back memories >.<
Honestly, I still recall modifying the buttons on the TI-83+ in order to execute a fake reset when the "memory" button is clicked, hence when the teacher tries to reset the calculater, the message appear as a success, but the thing never resets.

However, related to cheating in games, well, I used to code simple hacks for games but I have to admit something, usually cheating really gets you no where when you completely rely on it, however, when coding hacks for games, the hacks do nothing but reveal information you are not supposed to see, unlike cheating in school, you are not presented with information you usually do not see, but, you try and sneak information you should see. Hence, me and 3 others did do a statistical test, in which we noted down the scores of people playing CS regularly, handed them hacks, allowed them to use them for 2 months (no aimbots), then took the hacks away and renoted the scores. The results showed that their natural game play improoved very highly as they where more aware of how other players behave.

That is why I argue that cheating could slightly provide better results, depending on the approach and use in a controlled enviroment.

Cheating in real life isn't really worth anything, and it won't get you anywhere, hence I have never done it. In games however, it's a world apart, cheating there is very frequent. I have resorted to cheating quite a bit in the past for obvious reasons, just to piss off the ones that are already cheating. Call it cheap retribution, but it feels damn good.

It varies.

I could not stand other kids who cheated off of me, or copied homework. I worked hard in school. Those late nights of studying were awful, and I couldn't stand anyone else who played and didn't study to be able to get it right (off me) when I had worked so hard.

I cheat on games when I get really stuck. Gamefaqs is my friend. I see no problem with it. If I get too frusterated at a game, I'd stop playing it.

True. However, I've used very little of what I learned in college. But I needed to pass to get the diploma and GPA just to get a job interview. A lot of good the silly piece of paper did me, other than put me into debt. XP

Now I think about it, I haven't really cheated before. Perhaps the only time which clicks in mind was a pin the tail on the donkey game when I was like 7 or something where my blindfold wasn't on properly and I could see XD Gee, that was fun.

Whats the point...
I'm just posting to get papers

Well, i only cheat on certain games. like OBLIVION. i create mods that give me more powerful weapons and all, but i still have to do a quest to get them. i dont think thats cheating, personally.

I get scared alot in DOOM 3, so i downloaded a mod that equips your flashlight on some of your basic guns (pistol, shotty, rifle). thats cheating sort of...

but for FFVII, i got stuck alot... so i went online and looked at some WALKTHROUGHS. but thats it

Only in games that I think that are very dificults. I almost never use it.
Best wishes 4U.

To say cheating won't get you anywhere is a heavily idealistic statement seeing as how I have known cheaters who have cheated their way into top notch universities.

You can argue that you won't learn anything, but just as Lena said, it varies whether or not you need to use the stuff you learned in school. Sure a doctor might use what he learned, but will I really need to know perfect competitive models when perfect competition does not exist?

For certain majors, the point of going to school was to weed out the weak from the strong, not to learn.
