Cheating

I used to solve other guys’ tests in college for a fee and then spend my proceedings in booze that night. Good times.

Jim Rome stole that line from LaDainian Tomlinson…except that he changed it to proper grammar

Really? Everybody I meet from Harvard seem so straight-edge, the non-cheating type.
 
I didn’t cheat often, but when I did, I made sure it was as low risk as possible. I liked my coursework during college, tried my hardest in most situations, but I had my pride to protect. Wasn’t going to let some slacker get ahead of me just because I had a single bad day. That being said, I had little to no respect for those that made it obvious they were cheating, whether they were caught or not. I just imagine that those types would be huge liabilities to work with in the future. That being said, I also got a pet peeve with those that make a habit of copying homework…
 
Thats the beauty of the CFA, impossible to cheat….that is unless you hide notes in your pockets and go to the bathroom.
 
I had one graduate level exam that was rather memorable. the exam was take home and we were given 1 week to submit it. he said there was no possible way 2 students could arrive at the same exact answer and if he suspected that 2 students collorbated, he’d fail both.
if you think about it, the answers are like a finger print.
 
I will say that my grad school experience was that the chinese students were most likely to collorborate …. the ones i came across were the worst in group projects as well.
granted, the ones i knew in grad school are not indicitive of the entire chinese population. i work with a bunch of them today and they are flat out some of the brightest people i’ve come across.
 
^CP: yes they are, very indicative of the Chinese PhD population…ohh do I have some stories!!
 
Can’t remember that I have ever cheated. Not sure if that was smart, since I always wondered how I could teach others on exam prep and still get lower grades.
I took some enjoyment at grad school in busting filthy cheaters. I developed some skills in spotting cheaters. Women still seem to think they will not get checked. I’d guess that about 2-5% of exam takers at school cheated or tried to cheat.
