Cheating at coursework is easy?

I know that most of the people (including me) on our psychology AS level bought their coursework off A2 students from our local private school. When I think of all the poor people who spend months getting wound up over their coursework deadlines....

How many people would be happy to cheat?

I've said this before on this forum but a lad got chucked off my course last week for cheating, two people got chucked out last year for cheating.

Would I cheat no becuase cheaters just cheat themselves.

If there is an easy way, I'll always take it.

I find it amusing that you buy it off the private school kids... but I would buy/sell my coursework too. I'm sure the people behind coursework.info have made a living out of it.

I cheat when I know I can get away with it. Like for example for my AS and A level mocks I acquired the papers and mark schemes before the tests and er 'revised'. Basically I was too lazy to put the effort in and revise properly and I knew I could get away with it. Obviously for my real exams I revised properly.

That is not really cheating it is just playing the how to pass an exam game. Its only cheating if the marking shcemes are not made public.

What is cheating is downloading coursework and passing it off as your own. That is just plain wrong and imoral.

Cheating is not right and you should do the work yourself. Get help, get revision books but don't cheat. It's unfair on the people who have actually put effort in as well. It does show your lack of intelligence by cheating and you can't cheat on the actual exams so there's no point in cheating on coursework really.

I'm not sure if this counts as cheating, but for my GCSE geography coursework I just made up a load of statistics and other information and wrote it out... I got 40/40 for it!

Thank God for sparknotes... I wouldn't get trough my homework if it wasn't for that site. But I would never cheat on internal assessments or anything being shipped off to Geneva, that would just be plain stupid.

For GCSEs no one really cares, but when you move up the education system it becomes easier to get caught. And the recriminations are just too great.

Lets just say that I've learnt my lesson of using real experimental data. It gets you nowhere. A few tweaks here and tehre gets you the job done.

I don't like cheating, but don't mind bending the rules a little. If you can't possibly be found out then it isn't realy cheating, unless you think it is. The whole thing depends on how smart you are. If you can get away with something that will definatly give you an A/A* then you probably deserve it for thinking up the scheme, as you are smarter than the examiner/teacher who is supposidly an expert.

How do you define cheating? For example, I made up all my GCSE Geography coursework data (because I was too lazy to do it properly), and still got an A*. Is this cheating?

I also decided to answer the 20 mark section on Weather & Climate instead of on Water (which we'd done in class). Hahahaha isn't Geography a joke?

You didn't cheat Geography, but you would've if you had taken somebody elses work.

But I didn't do it properly. I made up my coursework data, when part of the criteria for the coursework was to accurately collect data. I didn't do that.

Well you made it up, you didn't take it from anybody else and even if the criteria told you to collect it, you just took a shortcut.
