IMO, cheat on classes that you really aren't going to need in your profession like Sociology, History, Gov't, etc...the basic junk that you waste your $$ on. Once you hit the major courses, study and stufy hard. Imagine if you get hired in some top company and don't know dick because you cheated your way through the major classes and don't remember diddly squat...not good.

I'm sorry.. but that is one of the most ignorant statements I've ever heard.

To say that Sociology, History and Government are junk courses.. is saying you don't care about the people and world around you.

stats is mostly memorizing equations and then plug & chug

i would try not to cheat because stats comes in handy. but if you NEED to do it to pass then by all means cheat.

Thats the chumps way out.

If you are doing poorly in a subject then maybe you should study harder, ask more questions, get a tutor, and put in some extra work.

haha, you guys are funny.... cheat or not, most of us won't retain the knowledge we so-called learned in 6 months... good for you if you didn't cheat, that means you learned the material better at the time compared to the cheating chump.... college isn't about how much material you can actually learn and retain, its about creating an extensive index for you to refer back to later in life.

even though i don't cheat, it doesn't really bother me if others do.


btw, Dimi got a good point. i don't condone cheating; however, prioritizing your classes is just smart time management. there is no way in hell i'm going to study more for my sociology classes when i have my crazy design classes to worry about. :goodjob:
