Is Cheating in Class Assignments OK?

[lisab]

You're exactly right. Thanks for restating my point to show you understand.

The purpose of school is to learn the material. As long as the OP learns the material, the moral concerns of cheating, especially on a borderline issue like this, don't bother me, and in my opinion, shouldn't bother anybody else.

Now, if the cheating is so severe that the OP doesn't learn the material yet gets a grade indicating that they DO understand the material, that's where my moral threshold is reached.

Every physics class I had in college was graded on a curve. So someone else's cheating would affect me personally (and everyone else in the class).

In that case you either cheat or get bad grades then huh?

Well...there's always the "work like a dog and take the occasional hard knocks" route...

If it comes to that I'd rather just cheat :(
