    Was just wonderning did any one see your man in the Gym cheating.Twas quite a spectical.He was just taking his occasional glance to refreash at his wee cheat note behind the calculator (as one would do), but unfortunetly one of the female examiners was on the ball.What followed next was a series of shocking and hilarious actions.
    > She stormed over,demanding to see his calculator.
    > She dosn't wait for any reply and attempts a quick grab.
    > He matchs her dexterity and also reachs over.
    > They wrestle for a bit.
    > He rapidly pulls the evidence out of the calculator.
    > He stuffs the paper into a tiny ball.
    > He destroys the evidence by putting it into his giant gob.
    > He washes it down with a drop of water.
    > He smiles.
    > She dosn't

    What exam was it?! :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 89 ✭✭constellation


    Was his exam confiscated? Was he told to leave? Or was he just allowed to continue on. Do tell...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,259 ✭✭✭Rowley Birkin QC


    Christ, my only exam hilarity happened in UL when a girl coughed for about 20 seconds, left out an outrageous fart and promptly fell on the floor of the gym unconscious!

    But yeah what happened?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,325 ✭✭✭Frankiestylee


    Hah... wow. That's gas. :)

    Where do they get the supervisor types from anyhows... some of them are totally clueless.

    Not too sure what Course/Year he is doing, but it was one of the two o'clock to four subjects in the gym.
    It was mad really,the examiner just says that she knowshe was cheating and apparently he was allowed to cary with his exam!
    Logic says do that his test was probably taken up after and the examiners wrote a note saying he was cheating (well lets hope the examiners have some logic and they did something along those lines, they do seem rather thick do....).
    But cheating is meant to be a huge thing in college.Theres meant to be some serious repercussions....

    I heard about this, he was only a few feet in front of me, but yet I didn't see the event happening. What a tool.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,683 ✭✭✭Kensington


    Heard about that aswell! Also, in the gym today during the 2pm - 4pm exam a guy up the front of the hall had a phone on him which rang midway. I wonder do DIT actually do anything to these people?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,925 ✭✭✭aidan24326


    Cheating is taken very seriously. People have gotten lengthy suspensions for it. Will be interesting to see what they do to this guy as there's no evidence other than what the supervisor saw/claims she saw. What a tool though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,326 ✭✭✭BC


    As far as i remember the student is usually allowed to finish the exam but then has to attend a panel of enquiry afterwards. If its confirmed the student was cheating they can be banned from taking any exams for a number of years or they could be expelled from the programme entirely.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,325 ✭✭✭Frankiestylee


    I've noticed this year that some of the supervisors are all about the wiley methods of cheating, like hidden contents in your pencil case, calculator etc, but seem completely oblivious to the guy sitting across from me who repeated took notes out of his pocket for a quick refresh.

    On your phone or did they have you infront of a computer?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,584 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    front of a computer, internet was allowed so long as webmail/IM clients weren't open, still not technically cheating but it sure as hell felt like it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,325 ✭✭✭Frankiestylee


    Wow... I want your exams.

    Its not cheating, she says your allowed to use anything that is "out there" for the UIP exam.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,584 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    aye i know not cheating in the traditional sense, still though felt odd being able to google in an exam :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 543 ✭✭✭Jeapy


    Ah cr@p! I was exactly a week too late to see that, only exam I had in the gym was 2pm on Mon 14th...would have loved to have seen that!
    I was in Gleeson hall for one and some guy had obviously sat in the wrong row. The invidualator (or whatever) insisted that he take this Masters in Computing paper, even though he was telling her it wasnt the right one! it was hilarious, she kept tapping it, and pushing it towards him while he kept pushing it away! Great way to get rid of butterflies!

    I'm guessing he means one of These and you can mark on them with a compass!

    I never saw someone cheat in an exam but I did see 1 old mature lady in an english literature exam delve into her pencil case halfway through the exam and take a mouthful of gin from one of those minature bottles, she took on a new life soon afterwards, she wrote like a devil!!

    back in secondary the mother got these free esb pens which had this little bit at the side that pulled out a little sheet of paper with tips on how to be enviromentaly friendly and on the other side it was completely blank, just begging to have forumlas and stuff written on it. and lookin at the pen, u'd never have known there was a pull out yoke with a roll of paper. I never did get round to taking advantage of em, mainly cos i didn't need to and/or lost em but it remains one of the best ways of cheating in an exam i've ever seen


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,192 ✭✭✭Dathai


    I remember in school, one of the lads got a note from the doctor saying he had diarrhea, and was allowed go to the toilet during the exam. Supposedly he had a small pda with him, with loads of notes in it.So he'd read the paper, figure out which questions he didnt know - or just get some quotes / formulas and then head to the toilets and have a look at the PDA.


    Good idea, but there's only so many exams you can get away with that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,512 ✭✭✭Sundy


    Cheatint is an artform perfected by many students..
    The biggest cheater i knew always ast right up the front and the supervisor looked right past him as he cheated. He once ripped a whole chapter out of a law book for an exam and brough it in with him.

    I have just forwarded on your message to the DIT authorities along with your name and email address and they will take it from there. Exams in collage are serious as standards need to be met.

    To be honest, your disregard for the examinations is appalling. Lots of people every year work hard and complete their examinations in an honest and respectful manner.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3 SeriouslyNow


    Nemothefish, or Niamh Foley, first of all learn how to spell. What are you like a primary school kid trying to be an adult. And second of all there is no need to use your aggressive tone.

    Calling names and the like, you reacted very badly to my message. You know they are the signs of a person who is guilty.

    There is no need to cheat in the exams. Its a sign of failure.

    One last thing, if you want to say something to me say it in the forum. Dont be sneaky and send me private messages filled with profanities, ok. Grow up.

I rang him and he told me that he hadent put it in his Diary.. when i had recved and email from him that stated see you on the 9th!! Im like WTF.. And sad to say i was looking forward to goin (is this crazy?)

    He told me that he would get back to me 2day RE: another time... so now i check my Mail box every few mins...

    the thing is i trust and respect this guy..

    Brilliant!!! What an absolute grade A loser!!! You cheated in the exams and still managed to fail them! And dont say you didn't cheat because these are the words of a person with very brown underpants.

    Also, by saying your one of the "special" people who gets a little room by themselves and a little extra time so their little brain doesn't overheat, you basically narrow yourself down to a few people.

    Also, its semester, not symester. And jeopardize, not Jepordise.

    what the hell are you on about. Every one else said about cheating and you pick on one person. You obviously have some personnel issues to deal with if you say things like this. May I suggest you go see a councellor!!! Now the second point you have no rite to criticise someone who spelled something wrong. You are very ignorant and disgraceful. Boards should remove you. You obviously have a lot of free time on you hands to be very childish, if you don’t like what people are saying then stop reading these posts and go get a life.;)

    while this has been comedy gold, the moral upper crust that is boards.ie doesn't need the special kids to attack, whomever they may be (i have some suggestions :D).

    either way, move along etc., and also... firefox/safari have built-in dictionaries. use them. all of you.
