Students Cheat On Their Papers Essay, Research Paper

Some college students cheat on their papers and exams some people cheat on the job. People like to cheat because they think that they can get away with it. Overall cheating is wrong, and the one that cheats always gets caught. On the other hand cheating has its advantages and disadvantages.

I will first talk about the advantages. The advantages to cheating are to be able to get a better grade. Many of my friends have cheated on tests, papers, and other stuff. They have never gotten caught but they also have had much experience with cheating so they wont get caught. Cheating also leads to being lazy, and waiting till the last minute. The advantage to cheating is if the teacher is stupid, and they don’t know anything about the internet. Cheating is very much alive on the internet. You can get almost anything off the internet. Its almost like using cliff notes, but the internet provides with the information that other kids have written.

The disadvantages to cheating are, getting caught! Getting caught is the worst thing to happen. Someone I know has gotten caught for cheating and was forced to withdrawal from the class. He was caught cheating on a test with his girlfriend, and he took the blame so his girlfriend wouldn’t get kicked out. I believe that he was wrong for cheating, but he wanted to help his girlfriend get the better grade so he gave her the answers.

People cheat because they think that they can get away from it. Cheating gives the person a rush; this rush makes them believe that they can get away with anything. They think just because one teacher doesn’t realize it, that all teachers are like that. All of my teachers know about the cheating that goes on, and they tell us about a computer that can detect the ones that cheat. Technology has improved and has come a long way from when it was a long time ago.

In conclusion to college students cheating, I believe that its wrong and the person that gets caught should be penalized for their actions. No one should be able to get away with it. Cheating just causes problems, and that person that cheats shouldn’t be awarded the higher grade just because the other person worked their butt off on a paper that got them half the grade or equal to the cheater. Many people will try the cheating way, but in the end most of us will see that it’s not worth it. Cheating just doesn’t feel right, and you don’t feel like you’ve done the job right. In the end, cheating is wrong and the people that cheat ought to be penalized majorly for their actions.
