(2,238 posts)You go to the 7-Eleven for a big gulp and you sip off the top and fill it up. Small cheat. Adds up for the 7-Eleven, but you excuse the little sip.
You could figure out how to drill a hole in terrazzo, but when you break a few bits you go ask an expert. A legitimate cheat because it is not in a cheat free environment. You buy the hammer drill.
I told my students if you cheat, you are a cheater. Go ahead and cheat. I will catch you and to me you will be nothing more than a cheat. You will become known as a cheater because all people cheat and they know when you've cheated. When you stop cheating yourself you have grown up.
I am here to help. No one will ever look up your grade on this paper, but they will judge your integrity. I will help you edit your paper, but you must submit your work.
I did catch a few cheaters and showed them where they got their paste ups. Word got out and after a time I had no cheaters.
My colleagues would not allow their students to submit their papers on line. I used technology and insisted they use hyperlinks and footnotes.
If I didn't get the final draft by 11:59 PM on deadline day, they got an F.
It got to the point where I had students submit their work on time, but in class the next day acknowledge they recognized some shortcomings in their work.
I'd ask if they knew how to fix it. If they said yes I would say fix it. If they said no, I would say you should have come to me first.
Youngsters today don't have the knuckle crackling rulers like we did.
But they respect honesty.
