Cheating

Cheating on in-class tests is more wrong than other common types of academic dishonesty. A plagiarist may get high score by simply write everything down on an illegal cheat sheet, but it doesn’t reflect his or her actual ability. Moreover, it is unfair to other students who make lots of effort to earn the best grade (Kennesaw State University, 2011). Secondly, almost every professor will make it clear that they have zero tolerance with cheating. Cheaters know the rule but still violate it. Their action indicates that they despise school policies and are disrespectful to their professors. There is another type of cheating called unintentional cheating. It sometimes happens when students are using sources but neglect to cite them properly (Kennesaw State University, 2011). Although all types of cheating is punishable, cheating on tests is still worse than misquoting sources.…

Absolutely cheating is aways wrong, However, defining what cheating is can be tough. By dictionary definition, cheating is to "act dishonestly or unfairly in order to gain an advantage, especially in a game or examination." I think our society is built on a system that promotes a form of cheating. By this I mean societal advantage. This theory applies mainly in academics and the workplace. In reality, it can apply to sports well. We also need to differentiate between blatant cheating and…

lots of instances when people do or use something to get an edge in the daily competitions of life. Cheaters in sport are no different. But is it really cheating? Or is cheating really just playing the game. I believe that cheaters can win the game since some forms of cheating are conventions within each sport.

An example of this is the Atlanta cheating scandal. The case was taken to court charging thirty-five individuals for inflating student’s test scores…

From a young age we are taught, no actually scolded over the theories of "Do not cheat" and "Cheating is bad". As we grow up, furthering our education in school we get drilled with the fact that we can not cheat, no excuses. It gets imprinted in our heads that cheating is not only bad and we can't do it but it is all very wrong. This type of cheating is related to school, and wether you know it or not, thats not the only type of cheating there is. You can cheat from playing sports, cheat on a…

Cheating is acting unscrupulously to obtain a goal. Particularly in schools cheating refers to committing plagiarism. A student may plagiarize or copy and take credit for someone else’s work.
