Doesn't that make it kind of pointless, though? I mean, in the end, you had to go through whatever you had to go through to get the knowledge for those other exams. All the end result was you put off whatever studying you had to do.
Snitching is considered bad because a lot of lazy pathetic human beings want to be able to get away with whatever they choose to do that violates rules/laws/ethics in place. They want to instill some sort of "loyalty" or make you feel guilty about "ratting" on someone so that they make their POOR choices that often times harm other people without getting in trouble or without feeling overly guilty about it. Think about that logic. Yet we buy into it for them. The lesser of us guilt us into condoning their poor choices.
You are competing with these people, whether you like it or not. They are gaining an unfair advantage, and it would definitely be in your best interest to report them. . .but I know its hard to do. I knew tons of people who cheated in my major in undergrad, and I always wanted to report them but never did. Actually, one of the most notorious cheaters I knew has a banging job right now, while the rest of us are struggling to find internships with our bachelors degrees. Your call.
Who cares if that doctor cheated or not? That won't be a determining factor in a decision of high magnitude. If that doctor ends up being one of the best surgeons in the world, are you not going to accept his surgery because he cheated 15 years ago in school?
Word to big bird. The other one is Mr. "Hey can I have your notes?" the day before the test. Um...no you can't.
What if the person cheating just doesn't study because he/she is a lazy ass and needs to cheat in order to keep up or even surpass your honest efforts?
We should have made this a poll. Add one vote to snitching. Cheating at that level is pathetic. How can you be proud of your institution (and how it defines you) if that sort of stuff is going on?
what if the professor grades on a curve? the cheaters are actually hurting you. i would anonymously rat them out or at least let the professor know to keep a watch out for them.
Like many people said, It is very good skill to have in the business school. I think you should do whatever it takes to get to where you are going, honestly work experience in the end means more then the school material IMO, depending on your profession.... Don't snitch, just worry about yourself, and if you can't beat them...Join them!!
Thats not what I said. I said I'd prefer to get treatment from someone that is superior clinically even if it meant they did cheat on something didactic. Afterall, as a patient, all I would care about is their skills when Im getting worked on. I could care less if they cheated on a question about proteins and enzymes, as that has nothing to do with the root canal they are working on. You never answered, what is your level of education and what do you do?
Yeah, you still have to learn the stuff...but take an honest look at the situation. I could either not take a look at some of the answers to the exam...while others are looking. Or I could report my best friends in the class. Again, like you said, I had to learn the stuff one way or another...and I still remember that stuff after a few years, so its never had any impact on my abilities.
I agree with Rez. If someone has superior skills and they cheated on something such as written exams or something that has nothing to do with actually performing any type of skills relevant to their profession (especially medical field) Then I do not care if they cheated...
