Is using answers from previous tests on a final considered cheating?

[Vlinny-kun]

I have a final next week in a class I'm a bit meh in. It's mainly due to putting all my focus in my other classes and me being a procastinator so I'm trying to catch up.

You can use your notes during the test and it isn't proctored. They also don't reuse questions. My professor stressed to us to study the midterm, and this made me put the two together and I got the idea to copy the midterm questions and use as notes for the test.

I'm hardly a moralfag so this isn't a "should I or should I not" question, but in your honest opinion, would this be considered cheating? I can see it both ways, so I'm curious on your input.

Cheatings fun. I used to do it with vidya.
Just up, up, down, down, left, left, right, A+B

 

[Pop-Tart]

We aren't going to help you on your final faggot.

 

[No Exit]

Don't see why not since you're allowed to use notes. You should be allowed to just use the current answer sheet if you have it in that case.

Self-plagiarism is a trick by teachers to immoralize behavior they don't approve of for some bullshit reason.

Are you implying that it's morally wrong to be a moralfag?
That's interesting

Cheat at every single possible opportunity with everything you do in life as long as you know it'll let you get ahead and you won't be caught

 

[snailslime]

who cares? your teacher just wants to get paid.

 

[WarJams]

Just fuck your teacher.

 

[soft kitty]

It doesn't sound like cheating to me.

 

[FuckedUp]

Seriously? Just Google everything, lmao.

If you cheat by using past answers and dont even bother to restructure and reword the original answer, they will see that without a doubt as plagurism. Theyve had software now for years that gives the marker a percentage of how much of an answer was plagurised, used in schools and universities, and if its over a certain percentage thats it, youre done, you cheated, and they will be able to show you the answer you copied from
They tell you to study the previous mid-terms so you know the questions that are going to be asked and can answer them in a fashion that is similar to previous answers, using past answers as a scaffold to build your answer.
Take the answer and make it your own answer with your own words= not plagurism. Using the answer to answer the question is not cheating, its smart, if its in your own words.

If it's STEM then you're expected to cheat a little because shit's so hard (it doesn't matter if you learn anything in school because it's all OJT in the real world anyway). If it's not STEM, then kill yourself for wasting time and money on a worthless degree.

Multiple choice questions, lol.

Multiple choice questions, lol.

LOL Then nigga it is THE DEFINITION of cheating why did you even ask such an obvious question?
Question: Bla bla - What is the answer? A, B, C or D.
*you have the answer "B" in your notes*
Come on dude... The question should have been
"is it cheating if I take the answers to exam questions into class on my notes"
The answer is yes, that is blatant cheating. Its also the lowest effort of cheating. lol

I said that they don't reuse questions. And the "answers" are from a midterm that doesn't cover half of the material that's going to be on the final. This isn't an "a, b, c" test like you're making it out to be anyway.

Who cares, just look up the answers. Fuck faggots who say you're paying for an education; you're paying to get a degree.

If you are following the rules you are fucking yourself because everyone around you is cheating.

 

[soft kitty]

If you write in your notes the answers, and using your notes is allowed, then I don't see how that is cheating.
