Cheating 101

Semester exam time…

Ok, first of all, let’s talk about test day. First, you’re going to feel like you should look at the teacher to make sure he/she is not looking. Don’t do it! It’s a dead giveaway that you’re about to look at your friend’s paper or ask for an answer. It will only make your teacher watch you more closely.

Also, contrary to what you might think, the back of the class is not safer. Those desks in front actually get the least attention.

Now, let’s talk about how to get that essay of yours through the “Did you copy?” check. First, don’t use the same first or last sentence/paragraph as your friend. Dead giveaway. Avoid any large or unique vocabulary words that might tip the teacher off. Try to change around sentence order so your teacher has to actually read your essay to see if you copied. If you’re copying from a book, make sure to throw in a good helping of grammatical mistakes to throw off the scent. With 50 other cheaters out there, you don’t have to be foolproof, you just have to be questionable enough to make it out of the cheaters bin.

Happy copying!
