Caught Cheating On A Test Am I In The Clear Here

How can I cheat on a test without getting caught?

Although I never used any cheating trick, I generally used to ask friend next to me. But here are the tricks used by some of my college students. 1. On the wall and roof :  today I had my last exam and I saw wall and roof (yes you are reading it correctly roof)  ,studentd made notes on ceiling. See the attached images with zooming :I have some other images as well, I think that's enough for wall trick. 2. This trick used by one of junior : Picture explains itselfs. What actually is :The longest one :How to use :3. The last and dangerous : This trick is used my pass out seniors who having pending exams to be clear. What they used to do is, they enter in to the exam room and as soon as the get the question paper, click a photo using phone and ask from teacher to put phone back in to the bag ( actully at that time he used to do Whatsapp the paper to his friends)   Now group of 3-4 friend solving full paper and making notes as early as possible from the book and the one of them goes to photoshop and ask for the zero size photo state. Ie in a single A4 you can get 7-8 pages of full length notes. Now they have to complete this task in 1:35 minutes and after that time candidate will come for the washroom and get handled his cheats. Now the same  junior(mentioned in trick 2) started keeping printer in his room for the same task as you can see in one of the above pic.

I got caught plagiarizing, how do I face my teacher?

I caught a student plagiarizing yesterday, and I have unfortunately caught many over my almost 30 years of teaching. Here is how I always hope my students will handle it:The student comes to my office, and when I ask, “Do you have anything you want to tell me?” the student says, “I’m sorry. I have no excuse. I was lazy/scared of failing/panicking/(insert other reason—reason, not excuse) and I did it and I’m just sorry.”In that case, I would sit down with the student and go over exactly how and why the particular case amounted to plagiarism, and how they can avoid it in the future. A student taking an attitude like that would go a long way toward repairing my trust in them.My policy on plagiarizing is clear, in line with my university’s policy, and spelled out in English and Japanese on my syllabus. I also go over it several times during the semester, to remind everyone, and I explain just what constitutes plagiarism. But I understand how confusion or panic can drive a student to do something like that.Early in my teaching career, I had a student’s parents actually threaten to sue the school because I caught the student plagiarizing. The case was very clear cut and quite egregious—the student copied an essay that was in the textbook I was teaching from for another class! AND she denied she’d plagiarized, insisting everything she wrote was from her own mind and she’d never seen that essay before and it was just a coincidence that 95% of the words of her essay exactly matched those of the essay in the textbook—yet the school backed down and asked me to let the student write another paper. I was disheartened and agreed—I was a new adjunct teacher, after all—but surprise, the student never got around to writing the replacement paper.That was definitely a case of what not to do.

How did you get away with cheating on a test at school?

I only remember ever cheating on one test.Eighth grade was the year that, instead of general social studies, or geography, or world history, or American history, they taught state history. Just as geography includes memorizing national capitals and American history includes memorizing state capitals, state history includes memorizing county seats. And Georgia has an astoundingly large number of counties.We had a county seat test every week. I think they were all averaged together to make one regular test grade. On Monday, we’d get a sheet of paper with ten or twenty counties down the left side and their corresponding seats down the right side. Or maybe it was the other way around; it doesn’t matter. On Friday, we’d get the same list on the left, in the same order, and the same list on the right, mixed up, and have to match them.I was very bad at this. Better than random guessing, but not close to a passing grade except on three of them. For the very last of the tests, I actually studied the material in the expected way. On one of the earlier ones, I was mostly successful at memorizing the scrambled list in order. Not really cheating, just trying to take advantage of the test design. And once, I typed the list on a small strip of paper and put it in the pencil tray. Yes, that’s cheating, and though I did well that week, it wasn’t worth the stress, much less the potential consequences.The big thing is that, by the end of the year, while I’d learned a bit about Reconstruction, sharecropping/mill towns, who was governor when, and so on, I didn’t know any more county seats than I had at the beginning. Not even from the time I did it right. That whole aspect of the course was as much a waste of time as it felt.

If I get caught cheating on a technical interview, will I be blacklisted from that company forever? A few friends have told me they got through their first round interviews by Googling the question.

At a previous job I did a phone screen of a candidate who answered my questions appropriately. I sent him a coding assignment to see his level of skill in PHP (our programming language at the company at the time), and he sent it back in a few days and it looked great. I called him to arrange on-site interviews, and when he arrived, I told him that we'd be working on his code submission to add a few features or to fix a few bugs. (I like to assess whether someone cares to maintain buggy code or only work on new code) He got a scared look on his face and he fumbled around quite a lot trying to track down where some bugs were.After watching him struggle for several minutes, I asked him if he was the person who wrote the code. He admitted to me that he had a friend write the code. We tried to make progress in adding those features and fixing those bugs, but it was clear that his programming skills and debugging skills were very weak and he was therefore not suitable as a candidate. But first and foremost, he lied to us by submitting code that was not his, and we blacklisted him from ever applying at our company again.If you cheat, it proves that you're a dishonest person, and very few companies will want to risk hiring such a person. If I can’t trust you with something small like an interview test, how could I possibly trust you with important things like customer data?Update: over a million views and 7k votes, wow, thanks for the response! The most common question in the comments below was whether I hired his friend. Of course not, his friend would have been in on the scheme.

What was your last exam cheating experience in college?

I last cheated in an exam when I was in 8th standard. It was a class test. The subject was Hindi. The paper was really easy. I was able to answer it completely except just one question worth 0.5 marks. I knew if I get this answer, I'll get full marks. 20/20! But even after trying so hard, I couldn't remember the answer. Desperate to get a full score, I asked the person sitting next to me.We used to have 2 sets of papers. Set A and Set B. So we both had different papers, but still he told me the answer. I wrote the answer and was happy that I'll get 20/20.On the day the answer sheets were shown, as expected, I had secured 20/20. I happily went to my friends who were standing in a group and discussing who's got how much, and told them I have got 20/20. The boy who told me the answer on the exam day was also standing there. He also had secured 20/20. And he said, "Actually tere 19.5 hone chahiye. Wo to maine tujhe ek answer bta diya tha isiliye tere 20/20 aa gye". (translation: Actually, you should have secured 19.5 marks. It was just because I happened to tell you an answer that you got 20/20).Everybody started looking at me. They kept saying, I cheated to get 20/20 and I am bragging about it and I am such a shameless person. That day, I felt so embarrassed that I literally felt like crying. I was a good student in school. Always finished in top 5 of my class. I never felt so insulted before. For me those marks were like a beggar's coins. I had to beg to someone to get them. That day I vowed to never cheat again in my life. Most of my friends laughed at me. But I held onto my decision. 6 years later, now here I am, at an IIT, doing my B.tech and I still don't cheat in an exam. I try to sit on the first bench just in front of the invigilator so that I don't have to care about someone whispering me to ask a question.For those who are laughing while reading this answer and thinking, "LOL this is so stupid", "So childish", "a fake story. Everybody cheats", etc etc. No. Not everyone is like you. Some people value self respect more than marks. I would rather be happy scoring 10/20 myself than scoring 20/20, out of which I cheated for about 15 marks from someone else.
