Moral Dilema

Right.. Umm Yeah...

I have been taking part in my A level exam. One of my friends has been using a computer during it, using the computer is ok for notes he had on his USB, but he then went on the internet and that isn't.

So the question is do i tell the invigilator/Examiner (SP)?

What Joe said, but tell him if he does it again then you will take it further.

But thats the thing, he can get away with it as he is one of the Intelligent ones as i call it, can do S**t all until 3 days from the dead line, then produce a ton of work and still get good marks...

Oh and he finished the exam early... Its a weird exam, 10 hours long, we do an hour or 2 a week so technically the exam hasn't finished

Its called getting ahead Lone.

Youd study your arse off when you could you could do a few days work and still pass? Personal choice innit, and Im sure in the end it will make you better for it, appreciate everything more and feel as if you earned it. Some people just arent like that.

Im a bit of both. I say and do the right things when its expected of me, but i 'll do what i need to, to get ahead in my apprenticeship.

Grassing on your friend isnt really being a friend is it, if he isnt doing anyone harm. You would feel cheated because you didnt think to do it? Or is it because you prefer to work for something? if you do, then thats admirable and your choice. Cant force your choices on other people, and that would include dobbing your mate in. You would be getting him punished because of your own personal views.

If you need to work hard for months to pass, then thats just your way of doing it, its sorted. If he wants to pass and potentially not gain any knowledge, then fair enough.

One point though...it is worth actually learning shit at some point, as to excel once past the school/uni gates you actually have to put it into practice Wink

*shrugs*

Not saying its 100% right, or wrong, but what the fuck isnt grey in todays society?

Thumbs Up

To be honest I'd let him carry on.

Saw this a few times at uni, people had little cheat sheets stashed away, shady visits to the toilet etc etc.

Didnt bother me in the slightest because whilst they may get a piece of paper that says they are capable of being able to do said task or are knowledgable about said subject, when it comes down to it they will fall on their arse, in front of their employer because they havent locked that knowledge in and goit it down pat, all they are gonna be able to do is think "shit, what did i scribble on that piece of paper", and when questioned by their gaffer "but didnt you say on your CV that this was a specialist area for you?" they are going to look pretty fucking stupid. Too much of that and its bye bye job.

You wont do any favours grassing on him, because not only will it comprimise your friendship with said person, but those around you will most probably be weary of you from that point, because in that situation people will tend to wonder if they can trust you, always wondering whether you'll switch it on them.

So yeah, all in all, if your studyin hard, taking it in, then it will pay off down the road. The guy that cheats and takes the easy path will down the line realise it wasnt the smart option. Unless of course he is one of these jammy bastards who can just absorb everything with the least effort like some sort of photographic memory type shit - then thats just sods law.

It'll come back to bite him in the ass when he is in the workplace so let him carry on.

If you go to uni you'll probably find cheating going on at a mass scale, I wouldn't even consider grassing up for that.

When I mentioned something like this to my uncle he told me to take note and get used to the world.

He said it's like the interview procedure about 30% of the time. It's just a formality and the candidate who will win is someone of relevance to a key investor who heavily suggests them during the next poker night/golf game.
