Hi people,this is my first comment here.
The video is very good.I undersTOOD that we mustn´t cheat in examS because we will ALWAYSN lose , SOONER or later.
I think that the punishment for the cheatING is correct, but I also think that the other student isn´t guilty,so I don´t understand WHY he recives punishment too, because, IN MY OPINION only THE STUDENT HWO Cheats must be punished .
In my case, I never cheat in exams,for different reasons,but the most important is because I don´t learn anything cheating;but if I study,I´ll probably pass the exam and I WILL HAVE PORBABLY learned more.
I wouldn’t cheat in an exam for different reasons: first of all when you cheat, you are lying to the teacher and to yourself. Secondly, if you cheat this doesn’t garantee you that you are going to pass and another reason is that if the teacher catches you, you are at risk to fail the subject at the end of the term.
I WOULDN’T copy in an exam because exams are difficult and copyING is impossible. However, last year in an exam my best friend asked me if I could let him copy a question from the exam. I agreed because he was my best friend but I got very nervous and the teacher nearly caught us. It was a very bad experience and I decided never TO do it again.
I think this video is interesting because it shows two very different boys, one is playing the whole day and the other studies a lot. On the exam DAY they caught the first boy copying from the partner than haD studied. The boy who studied passed the exam with a good mark. This also happenS in the real life. The actors performS THEIR ROLE very well.
I wouldn’t copy in a exam because I am too afraid the teacher caught me and failed me. I wouldn’t also copy because I think that it is better to get a worser mark than to get a good mark copying. Another reason would be than if I copied my partner and the teacher cAught us I would be embarassed and I would be afraid that he failed his exam FOR me.
Once I had a bad experience copying. My best friend asked me a question she didn’t know and the teacher saw us. Luckily he just warned us and told us never to do it again.
This video is ok because it is about copying in aN exam. It is good to practise listenings for school because the main charachers are AMERICAN.
This video describes real life because copying is very common in schools. On the one hand, they are students that spend all day studying to pass the exam and on the other hand there there ARE other students that spend all the time with friends ant then they want to copy in the exams, This is not fair.
I WOULDN’T cheat in a exam, UNLESS the exam WAS very important. Cheating is a bad action.
Many timeS, when people cheat because they are insecure with the concepts AND They cheat to get high marks.
Watching THE video I can see that the teacher has punished two pupils. One was cheating from the other pupil and
this pupil didn’t know it.The teacher SHOULD know, what had REALLY happened , before FAILING BOTH exams.
Hi!
I WOULDN’T like to cheat in an exam, I feel really bad only thinking about that.
In primary school I had sometimes asked FOR the solution of a question but now
I WOULDN’T do it. I think that if you cheat in an exam you’re lying yourself
and this is bad for you.
About the video I think that the situation is very REAL, there are ALWAYS
students who study a lot and there are students who always cheat. And this
will never change. I have to say that I have found the video a bit difficult TO UNDERSTAND,
ESPECIALLY when the boys are speaking at the same time.
Hello Rosa and friends!
I’ve to say that it’s my firt comment in this blog and I think that
it is very interesting and amusing.
I’ve watched the video and in my opinion is rather strange and unusual but,
on the other hand, it is about a common moral dilemma.
I agree with Eric Bosch when he says that the student who cheats has to
be punished, but the other one, who has studied and hasn’t played with
videogames, hasn’t to be punished, because he isn’t guilty.
Answering your question that if I would cheat in an exam I’ve to say
yes, but only if it WAS in an extremE situation, when I’m sure I’ll fail.
However, if not, cheating in an exam is a nonsense because you’ve to
believe in you and you’ve to believe that if you’ve studied you’ll pass
it and with a good mark.
Cheating you? are running the risk that the teacher sees you and doesn’t
allow you to finish the exam and may punish you.
Well, this is my first comment, I hope you like IT.
In a situation like in this video the boy who cheats had to say he was cheatting, because the other
boy IS not guilty. The teacher didn’t need to be so strict and ask before breaking the exams.
In my opinion I don’t like cheatting in the exams, becaure I think it’s too risky for the students. And
if the teacher sees them it would be more dificult to rely on the students again.
Hi Rosa,
About computer-mediated moral dilemmas.
First of all, I THINK THAT you can have nothing without effort but Sometimes,
even if you have estudIed and DONE YOUR homework, there are a few points
of the exam that you don’t remenber and AT THAT moment you can
have the tentation to cheat FROM your neighbourg.
who HAS never doNE it ? He can throw the first stone, AS WE SAY IN SPANISH
In the other hand, I don’t agree with the teacher when he takes the exam
from the studend sited in the first table because he’s not guilty.
He don’t show anythink to his friend. thats why I think he’s wrong is that
action.
I shoud undertand that his father becomes angry.
Good by.
If necessary, I would chat in an exam. If you studied and you dIDN’T understand it, I think you would make crabsheets or something like that. Only if you studied. If you didn’t studied, you shouldn’t cheat, because if you didn’t tried it at first, later it won’t help you.

Hi people!
I’ve never cheated in an exam,but I accept that sometimes i’ve thought about doing it in the most complicated moments. But somehow I must thank my personality, because of my fears, insecurities… I had already fallen into the temptation to copy.
Besides, if any teacher catches you, it can be a 0.
When someone cheats in an exam, or lOT OF PEOPLE cheat someone,THE VIDEO demostates what happenS. The teacher may think that they are cheating, and he/she can get a 0 for the other student who tried to copy FROM.
Hello again,
Here I am to discuss the situation,
like in the other comments I’ve done.
Firstly, I have to admit that I have sometimes
cheated in exams, I CANNOT deny it. I would be
lying if I said that I have never cheated. I think
that everybody haS cheated, at least ONCE.
Now, it’s habitual.
I don’t say that if I’m cheating I’m not lying
myself, or that I will win. On the contrary, I think
that BY cheating I won’t GET too far. But, I’m not
saying that I cheat at all exams, of course.
I only cheat when I’m not sure ABOUT myself,
or when I don’t remember a formula. But, I have set
out not to cheat the next year.
Secondly, I think that the way of accting of
the teacher is a bit wrong. I think he would have
given a second chance and separate them. This is what
I would do.
I have said all I think. I don’t have anything more
to say.
Now, in batxiller, I think that if you cheat in exams you are very silly (excuse me, but it’s true). The people who cheat in exams are silly, because if they study batxiller, it’s because they want, it isn’t and obligation.
It’s true that sometimes you ask to the student near you for a question, and I admit I do it few times, but not all the exam or more than one question.
All in all, cheatING in exams it’s very bad for THOSE who cheat, because he or she can pass this exam, but THEY WILL probably fail THE NEXT EXAM, because it will be more dificult, and if he doesn’t study for THE PREVIOUS one.
This video it’s a joke and it’s fiction, IT is NOT the real world!!!! (hehehehe)
First when you cheat in a exam you are lying to the teacher and to yourself. If I cheated in exams I wouldn’t learn anD I would feel bad if I passed the exam.
I would feel bad because I would knew that I hadn’t passed whiTH my own knewledge.
