Unit 2 Cheating Questions

#1.
During the high school years, there had been a short period that most people in my class cheated on an English magazine extra-reading test on every Tuesday. And where the answer had been got was from mine. That was a dilemma since I was supposed to keep this kind of dirty things away, but most of my best friends did ask me for the answers politely. At that time, students had to pass the test paper to the teacher assistant (one of our classmates) and the test was taken during the Midday Rest, and it means that there was no teacher there to see everything happen in the class. The TA didn’t copy my answers, but I could notice that it was a long way since I had turned my paper to the back. This kind of stuff had finally stopped since someone told the whole thing to our class teacher. Ooh… I would like to skip the process of that. That was a surprising and releasing experience.
Cheating not only happened on English exam but also on the history, geography and even math tests. To be honest, I did cheat sometimes on history tests, so I’m going to explain the reasons in my own perspective.
I cheated on history quiz once, copying some of the cloze answers, because I didn’t prepare for that. I know it’s not a responsible behavior. I did that since I wanted to keep my grades from failing (under 60 points). I think the main reason of why people cheat and copy is that some of us may want to take the responsibility of ourselves and for our parents, but we do that without any efforts before the tests, so we cheat on quizzes as compensation. People want to do something and get the seeds without actual actions.

As the above mentioned, someone told this thing to our teacher, and everyone in the class was asked to the teacher's office individually since the teacher didn't know how many of us did cheat on tests, without any evidence, neither could the teachers find out who did that actually. So she started to give up. However, all of our classmates didn't cheat on any quizzes anymore. I think that's because eveyone realized something. Something might be that they knew how disappointed the teachers were, and they were afraid of getting caught again. I think the morality did help in the end. Cheating happens on papers, quizzes, exams and so forth. Here are some methids that might help:
1. Setting cameras during tests. (The Chinese Professor did it last semester; people still cheated in any ways.)
2. Gather the classes in one room and take random seats.
3. Do homework paper in class
4. For each homework, give zero to those who copy others or the Internet after first warning, and the grade of the copy one doesn't count. It means that give them one chance and don't count the grade of the first time of her/his copy.
5. Cultivate Morality. This is the hardest part but takes effect for some students.

Uhhhh... It's difficult to think of any possibilities and perfect solutions. :(
If I come up with any ideas, I will add it in.
