Ever had to testify in front of honor council? Yeah, uh me neither … but for those of you willing to put only a little bit on the line, here is a list of violations that when not pulled off, won’t have you testifying under oath to a bunch of narcs.
- Programming things into your calculator
- Honestly, if you’re not already doing this, you’re straight up not trying. Who doesn’t have a cryptic letter/number code in their y= section on their TI-84? The worst thing that could happen is the TA peaking over your shoulder, seeing A2+B2=C2 on that dimly lit screen, bending down and giving you a subtle but ever-present judgmental glare promptly leaving your sorry ass alone.
- Writing on your arm
- You’ve been doing this since middle school, what are the odds you’ll get caught now? On the slight chance you do, you’re facing significant honor council sanctions… unless of course, you come prepared. Bring a water bottle filled with acetone to class and be ready to spill that shit all over your test and your body. The paper will dry quick and the pen will come straight off; why do you think anyone ever majors in chemistry?
- Leaving notes in the bathroom
- 2nd stall from the door on the first floor of Atwood has your name all over it. That bathroom is your wonderland; your one way ticket to an A. If you’re the opposite sex as your professor, use slightly problematic gendered bathrooms while we still have them. If he/she catches you cheating, your daddy’s legal team has something to work with.
And remember, if someone tells you academic dishonesty is being untruthful to oneself at its core, you tell them the eternal Emory student mantra: if you’re not cheating, you’re not trying.
**The Emory Spoke does not make itself responsible for any students who decide to willingly disobey our stunning honour code. We love how honest you make us!
