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).

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.…

From a young age we are taught, no actually scolded over the theories of "Do not cheat" and "Cheating is bad".

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?
