I knew a guy who was a Kappa Signa at LSU who got busted cheating on one of, if not the final exams before graduating. This was back in the 1980’s. While everyone was celebrating with money they got from selling back books, he was probably praying. I don’t know what happened to him.
In high school, our Physics class covered a ton of formulas before the first test. Someone asked the teacher if we would get a formula sheet for the first test. The teacher said he’d give us the formulas we needed. What a relief! In test day, he handed out the test and someone asked about the formulas. He said “oh yeah” and wrote in huge letters on the blackboard “F=ma” and said we could derive all the formulas we needed from that. Believe me, EVERYONE cheated in some form or fashion on the second test with formula sheets. We felt he had been less than honest so we could be, too.

quote:How appropriate is that on a thread about cheating someone mentioned the ole college book buy back ponzi scheme. Pay $80 for a brand new book you dont even need for the class, sell it back for $10 only to have the school resell it back to a new student as a used book for $79.50

I know a guy who was majoring in computer science in the 1990s.
It was his last class and the professor divided them into groups of four and assigned four projects. The professor said “Every project is a group project, and every student must work on each of the projects.”
They decided it would be much less work for each student to do one of the four projects and put all their names on it. The first three group projects went well but the fourth was a disaster.
The fourth team member got busy with planning his new job and place to live after graduation and ran into problems with the project. He borrowed a project from a student who took the class two years previous and basically just copied it.
The professor caught the copy and gave all four group members a zero and failed them all. The guy who copied the project was kicked out of school and the other three had to cancel their jobs and return to school one more semester to retake the class.
