Good questions as classes start up
Question #110: If you were having difficulty on an important test and could safely cheat by looking at someone else's paper, would you?
I hate to say it, but I might. My academic performance is important to me. I would hate myself later for doing it and feel incredible guilt. But I would feel better if I got the test back and didn't do that well.
Follow-up question: If you saw someone cheating on a test, what would you do? What if you had signed an honor code?
I probably wouldn't do anything unless we had bad blood. But had I signed an honor code, I would definitely consider turning him or her in.
