Cheating the system
Abstract:
My name is Kevin, and I'm a cheater. I won't specify any classes or rat out any accomplices, but I cheated in high school and I've cheated in college. Cheating is a near-irresistible force....

If you can use google to find the answer to an assessment question, then it should not be used to determine if learning has occurred. Once in the corporate world, you will not be asked to sit alone and try to remember facts about a certain issue without the necessary external resources (people, media, etc) at your disposal.
It is time to re-think assessment and the value of higher education.
Personally I feel cheaters are slum and have no respect for themselves. I feel their is no greater feeling than that of accomplishment done on your own and with you own mind. How can you ever know that if you cheat. Your cheating yourself of so much of the joy, happiness, sense of accomplishment. No one should have to watch you. You should be trustworthy a person of integrity. Money and fame comes and goes but integrity can stay forever. Think man

Man, whatever happened to honor? Just the bad, guilty feeling I would get from cheating is deterrent enough for me.
