It was only a matter of time.

How can you cheat when you have to read Pride and Prejudice or Jane Eyre ? I read those books for my pleasure only. I was never a fan of Shakespeare, so let's say I understand the students. But Jane Austen wrote an excelent novel and I adored the TV seria.

Well, aside from sucking the life out of the classics, I see a big problem with this. Think of the cheating possibilities. I know that when I was working as a tutor and we administered make-up exams in the center as one of our services, we were always having to warn students to put their cell phones away or actually confiscate them because they were using them to cheat several different ways. Sheesh. What's so hard about just studying? Maybe I'm a fool, but that's how I got my good grades.

Oh, that's just scary.

I didn't have any teacher in the "good" disposition to allow us cheat. I failed one of my history class exam for a stupid grade. This teacher always asked all books and notes to be done on the ground and keep on the desk only the exam's paper. Well, I wrote all that I know and I prettwy satisfied. The only problem was I couldn't remember one name and that was killing me. So, I quicklychecked on the ground in my notes and that was it. He saw and grabbed my exam. I had to pass it again when I could satisfy myself with a "good" and not an "excelent" grade.

That's the way it always was when I was in school. Well, except for that one college instructor who allowed the cheat card, which made it really not cheating at all. Other than that, it was books and papers on the ground, only the test paper on the desk, and no looking around the room.

One of the reasons, I didn't miss school. And now I'm back again with all the funny parts of the exams. :biggrin:

On the ground ? Lucky you. Us for final exams, it's books and papers outside of the establishment. Only pen and food accepted.
