11/4 -Wednesday's Blog

Under what circumstances do I think most students might be inclined to cheat:
-When it's unlikely that they would be caught
-When they feel desperate to get a better grade
-When a lot is riding on the particular grade

If some one is caught cheating, the consequence i think is most suitable:
-Failure on the assignment that the cheating occurred
-Repeating the assignment while being watched carefully
-Depends on the cheater's profile

Things that discourages me from cheating:
-Scared of getting caught
-Test the result of my studying or not
