Cheating is the main problem on campuses around the world. It is ever going to stop?! Some statistics say that 75 to 90 percent of students are cheating in college and it going to keep continuing. These students who cheat have no conscious on what will happen to them. They are doing it just because they see other cheating which happens to be a very bad habit. Students are starting to do whatever it takes to make an A.
Why are these students cheating? Some say that they are cheating just to get by, but others are doing it to just to get ahead. I mainly think that all these students that cheat are doing it because they are lazy to study, they weren't prepared for the test, or they just don't care and know that they are very well cheaters, so they are going to continue to do it. The real question is; Is There Any Way to Stop Cheating? I personally believe that the only way that students will stop cheating is if everyone started caring about their work, or if teachers made it so that it was very hard to cheat in the classroom.
Cheating is a poor habit to have because there are really no benefits and a lot of consequences if you get caught. Yes, you might pass the test or quiz, but in the end, does it really satisfy you that you cheated your way through college and that you really didn't learn anything? To me, that's basically saying that you wasted all your time going to college if your not going to learn anything. Everyone in college knows it very difficult, but it is really not worth it. The consequences or too strict. For example, if this is your first time cheating and you get caught, man you might get away with it but most likely you wont. First,you will get a zero on the test/quiz. Second you can have the chances of dropping a letter grade which can hurt you in many ways. Next, you can get suspended for a semester, which can push you so far behind. And lastly the worst thing would be getting kicked out of school! This might be the worst thing to do while your in college. Maybe in high school or middle school they let you get away with a lot, but not in college. They are very strict about cheating and will punish you for any type of cheating, meaning if some one is looking on your paper, then you are just as guilty.
To stay from getting in this kind of trouble, all you really have to do is eliminate yourself from cheating. it is really better for you to fail the test/quiz rather to cheat on a test/quiz. it can eliminate so many problems that we all know you don't want to go through.
