Sanctions imposed for cheating

celtic723

the point is if you cheat in state exams your a dick. simple as that i'm afraid. imagine taking some poor sods place who worked their nuts off all year only to be outdone by someone cheating. Not only that but what makes it worse is that the person who cheats and gets in probably won't even seize the opportunity. makes me sick tbh.

yeah i know she wont finish the course if she does get her course, its just the fact that she didnt deserve the opportunity to try, yahno? and if she gets the course shes taking the place of somebody else who tried soo hard. bleh.. sillyness:pac:

your right she shouldnt have the opportunity.what a looser. ive seen people staying up for nights on end studying continously to get the points for medicine and the fact that some bithch could get it instead is totally unfair

I was told a story about a lad in our school who got caught with notes that he had smuggled in inside his pencil case. The superintendant went over and drew a big "X" on his paper and took it off him. He got no points for that subject but was able to sit the rest of his exams.

To be honest I wouldnt have the liathróidí to do something that stupid. Its not worth it.

honestly, it really annoys me.. there's loads of people that worry and fret all year about not getting the course they want..
in that respect the system is awful because to let people get away with all this cheating is so stupid? why should we sit there and study if anyone can cheat..its soo bad!:mad: like that girl cheating with flashcards and the fella who got caught and the superintendent laughed? WTF.. seriously, :mad:

A guy in my school took the cover off his bottle of ballygowan water, scanned it into his computer, opened it up on paint, removed the ingredients and nutritional info on the back of the cover, typed up the points for an irish essay in their place, re-printed it and used it during Irish Paper 1.

Now that's the Chuck Norris of cheating.

No it's not it's called going onto youtube and searching cheat bottle.

pretty good trick but doing it is a pretty queer thing to do as i've already stated.

it sorta annoys me how some people say 'ah its no big deal,the most they could be increasin their grade by is a couple of percent by cheatin',but in most cases a couple of percent is all they need because of the way the system works. If I get 300 points,and someone else got 305 because they cheated and brought their grades up(even by just 3 percent each time)they automatically sit higher up on the list for college than me(who was honest and worked to my best potential). ANd if they ut off point becomes 310 because theres that one extra person on the list that shouldnt even be there,then I am automatically ousted from the list for having the lower points. SO even a little cheating has the potential to lose an honest hardworker a place in college.
I think the sanctions for cheatin are fine as they are but they should be more strictly enforced.

To be honest folks, why do any of you care? Its not like someone cheating has a book with them. Its fractions of points. Say if you had 10 formulae on your hand, that might be 30 marks, which could be as little as 6% and thats going on the assumption that no one else knew them. So at best, cheating isn't going to get you in the A catagory from failing, it might add 2% to your entire paper.

Relax, keep the head down and laugh at them. Because people like that never do well in life.

EDIT:



And hey presto, there ya go. The simple answer is she won't. She's cheating herself. And thats if she even gets to medicine. If everyone on this forum became a doctor the Irish system wouldn't be where it is. About 100 people go for medicine (Very round figures! ) each year and I'd say less than 15 come out the other side.

Not quite correct - each college takes in about 100 people. Colleges offering it include UCC, UCD, TCD, RCSI and NUIG, so approx 500 hundred people begin med. The drop out rate is not as overwhelmingly high as people think - every course loses people through lack of interest/ aptitude etc, and med doesn't stand out amongst others. Interestingly (or not), I think the course with the highest dropout rate is electrical engineering.

A lot of people at a neighbouring school did that for the Mocks and got caught. As a result none of them were allowed bring in bottles for the exams. Imagine a three hour exam with no water! :eek:

If he had any sense he'd use this:

ChiefBrody

Our examiner has an eye patch and when he caught someone cheating he said 'I didn't lose this eye so little turds like you could get away with **** like this', and he grabbed him by the head and smashed his face off the desk. True story.
