I hate people who cheat on exams, especially in classes that are curved.
I headed into my differential equations final today. It's an upper division math course that has a use in real world applications. Anyway, I got pwnt. Now, I normally wouldn't be worried, because of the curve. However, I find out everyone is cheating with their Ti-89 Titanium calculators. I find that most of these people have every worked out homework problem ever given in the class in those things. About 3 in every 4 people are using them for cheating in that class. I'm probably going to fail now, since most of our grade is based on the final.
This test was exceptionally challenging, and I have a feeling everyone cheated their way through it just fine.
God damn, I could kill these people. Totse, share your experiences with getting owned by cheaters. :mad::mad::mad:

I did, but I chose not to waste my time entering the answers in there when I could have been studying instead. :mad:

And subsequently failed. Dude, school these days is all about shit like this. By and large, kids don't care whether they know it or not and neither do the teachers. It is far better to know how to actually do it however if you are going to fail you should probably get the calculator.
You could just snitch on them. My diffy-q teacher did not allow us to use calculators on the exam.. and it was a super bitch of an exam too

And yet, sometimes its good to be white. Maybe he'll get extra credit.

My advice? Sounds like John Conna needs the T-I-89

I wouldn't snitch anyone out. There isn't a way to prove it either. I just wish he banned calculators, he's old and I don't think he knows about the capability of some of them.
But yeah, it seems that everyone cheats in everything these days. In most of my engineering courses about half the people cheat their way through.

Well you know the old saying, you aint cheatin you aint tryin! I thought daddy would have taught you better. Hell when everyone else is cheating anyways are you going to be stupid enough to risk failing a class or getting a low grade just because of morals? Jobs don't care about that in fact some wish you had less like Enron.

DE was actually one of the only courses I've done well at.
Hell yes I cheated. My calculator has an SD card slot so you better believe I loaded that bitch up with .txt files. Really, even people from the greatest school cheat. It's hard to get by without it. Take the gamble and win big.

Actually, it's not about morals. I need to learn this stuff for my next classes, if I cheated then I would be too lazy to actually study. When these people move on to other essential classes (like fluid mechanics) they won't know shit and will (hopefully) fail.
But really, this thread isn't about me. I would like to hear your stories.

The Ti-89 can't. I'm sure AP2K's calculator might be able to, since it has an SD card.

No, they'll just cheat through those classes as well. I know my ti 83 is loaded the fuck up. Hell, I dont even know what my major is.

in the university i go to they give you calculators in the finals. thats fine, its just that they are those really old ass prehistoric ones
In my anatomy class, there was a test coming up on the appendicular skeleton involved a hell of a lot of memorizing in about a week and a half (memorizing most the major bones and their features well enough to call them from memory given a picture). Because she sat opposite wall to the teacher, the chick next me cheated and distributed answers to the people around her (I declined). The class isn't curved, and because I'm in high school, most of the kids in there just need a science credit and, for good reason, don't care about ever learning appendicular bones, so I was fine with it. High school education is a joke.
I personally didn't give a shit about who was cheating, although because of the curve, I can definitely see why you're pissed. Just cheat and learn the material is my suggestion, if you're looking for one.

Mostly with alcohol. (so drunk right now :cool:)
My calculator can store anything in 1's and 0's. It has an embedded text editor, so I can read my shit. It's an HP 49g+ It's not as good as my old TI-92+ that died, but it's alot more compact. I think th eonly thing good aobut my HP is the SD slot. The TI is better at pretty much everything else except reverse Polish notation, which is very useful.
Fuck yoy Bush!

(I'm drunk as fuck right now. wow i dnt remember typing 'c')\\
I want to do full time for the USDA. My parent's are probably going to be pissed that I am dropping out. Ohh well. I fucked up this semester because I can't hack that shit. I'm just not interested anymore. I've made horrible grades ever since the first semester. Why the fuck continue making shit grades? Besices, it's hard for me to suck dick to get back on financial aid with GPA lower thna 2.0. I'm just not cut out for sucking dick, naa mean?
I don't know if my boss is going to have enpugh for me to do 40 hours/week, though. Even 30 is good enough. With 15 that I was doing along school I could pay for my rent and food, so it's cool. I'mma need a gun before the economy fucks up any worse, tough. Getting an AR-180. :) I have most of the money but I need to up my shit at work becaus I got rent coming up in couple weeiks.
Meh. Parents are going to be pissd. They are going to have to get over it becuasI cant do it anymre. WAY too stressful and I can't concentrate. I don;t know why i cant concentrate. doc said my iodine levels might be too low. i need to get a nes blood count naa mean.
Drinking myself to death isn't my objective. Althugh seeing the fringes of consciusness and what one can think and experience interests me. Alcohol is just something elasy to procure for me, as I don't know delers.
fuck im rolling.

One of the thing I am curous about is that I still can utilize my mental facultieswhen inebrietated. I desigend my memory module while drunk, for instance. It is interesting to see the wrld from a slovenly perspective. naa mean?
gin is quite swteet when hamersd
fpr example doing everything by instinct is neat. I can't aim worth shit, it's all instinct.
also i didnt wuqite realize my drunk mode was so prolific :)

I understand what you mean about not being able to hack it anymore. I'm starting to head towards my breaking point as well, this shit is just hard, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, meh. I think your parents might be pissed at first, but they need to learn to respect your decision. You're doing whats best for you, and maybe eventually you'll have the motivation to go back. A lot of people get burned out and come back later, it's part of life.
I mean, we've gone through straight schooling for almost 20 years, it's a long time to not have a break, naa meen? But about the rifles, it's a good idea to buy now. Obama is probably going to be a Nazi, and not the good kind. I bought an AR-15 with a short barrel and a collapsible stock a couple months back. My dad also picked up a couple of AR-15's and a few AK's in Texas. That's cool you're going for an AR-180, those are bad ass.
Anyway, don't get too caught up in the drinking. Not to tell you what to do or anything. But with the USDA, that's pretty cool even as part time. You'll have a lot of opportunities to move up, and they might even fund your education later on if you decide to go back.

15 years of schooling and I've never used a calculator, or any other kind of device except my brain to get the answers. Always scored over 90%, simply because I studied the material thoroughly until I was very comfortable with it, and I wouldn't give up until I was comfortable with it. The other classmates may have used a mini-computer to get the answers, but that still does not excuse you if you fail. If you fail, it means you did not know your stuff, and so you deserve to fail in that case, regardless of who did what. Those clueless losers who passed the test by asking a computer the answers will go on to become common failures, adding to this dying world's problems, but if you can pass the test based entirely off your own intelligence, you can be more confident in your own future success. It has less to do with "them" than it has to do with you.

I thoughts about 20 years as well. It really is a long time to have only a couple months off at a single time. I really don't think Obama himself is going to be a Nazi about guns. Thank God the Democrats didn't get a filibuster-proof Senate or we would be in deep shit. Getting an SBR AR-15? I also own a PSL rifle until my brother turns old enough to own it in a couple months. After the AR-180 I want one of the original Colt 1911A1's. It's hard to imagine them being almost a century old and yet the design is so modern.
Meh, I just drink because there isn't alot else to do. I know I shouldn't go overboard with it. But at least I never get hangovers. :)
