Sure. All the time.
Uhm..how did you accomplish that?Couple of urine tests back in the day.
Uhm..how did you accomplish that?
My friend used to come over my house to use my computer to write papers (back in the early 90s). But instead of writing anything, she'd buy others' papers for about $20 each. She's a principal now, lol
If I do my math right, that's 21 possible combinations and that's if the teacher doesn't reverse the order. (ie: he asks question 6 first and then question 3). Did you actually write out all 21?So in college I worked and went to school. When I say "worked" I mean like 30-40 hours a week. So Sr year and I have this International Finance class and work is killing me and I don't think I will have enough study time. So the test is basically going to be, out of these 7 essay questions the prof will pick two for the test. I start thinking, wait a minute I just get multiple test books (empty notebooks you use for tests) from the bookstore and write all the possible combinations of questions and the day of the test grab the right one and turn it in. Problem was it would be hard to shuffle in your backpack for that long to get the right one. So the day of the test I took it and wrote the answers. Thing is I had spent so much time rewriting the answers into multiple books that I had basically memorized the answers to all 7 questions. Made an A on the test and avoided cheating.
(wink wink) lol. Yep. The gig was up soon after she did it. I think it was a professor who initiated making a plagiarism checker program and schools became fully aware how widespread the problem was.Rolling Stone and other magazines used to advertise "Research Papers" for sale in the ads in the back of the magazine. Hundreds of different topics available from Algebra to Zoology. There was a disclaimer that they were not meant to turned in as your own work. (wink wink)
Yeah, I bought a few for some required humanities courses like psychology or sociology and modified them a bit. There was no plagiarism software back in the late 70s/early 80s. I don't remember the price of the papers.
Why yes, yes I did! Anyone who says you cannot learn by drilling or repetition well I got news for you! After that exercise I pretty well had my answers memorized. Thing is I probably could have done as well spending the time studying because it took a while to write out all those combinations.If I do my math right, that's 21 possible combinations and that's if the teacher doesn't reverse the order. (ie: he asks question 6 first and then question 3). Did you actually write out all 21?
