| May 4, 2020 at 15:04 | comment | added | crobar | @com.prehensible you're naive to think that cheating isn't endemic in some jurisdictions, at least the college actually exists and has actual classes in this case! | |
| May 4, 2020 at 11:46 | comment | added | user111388 | @com.prehensible: The questioner should absolutely NOT give us his name. | |
| May 4, 2020 at 9:50 | comment | added | bandybabboon | give us his name please. you can also write to your national authority for academic oversight, it's very rare that someone should ask that kind of thing, i don't think many of us know what words are necessary to deal with a question like "can I copy you?" No seems obvious but clearly we need a thesis for it. | |

The program immediately gives you the answers when you finish ... people are consistently cheating on every test, every assignment" Honestly with this assessment setup, it sounds like cheating is actively encouraged. | |

| May 3, 2020 at 9:38 | comment | added | Nat | Regarding the edit, if there's more nuance to the situation than folks're picking up on, you may have to spell it out. For example, at the end of your edit note, you briefly allude to not wanting your classmates to think that you cheat when convenient for you -- so would it be fair to say that you want to find a way to decline to help them cheat while being clear that you're against cheating rather than rejecting them, personally? Or, more generally, what goals do you have besides simply declining? | |
| May 3, 2020 at 8:39 | comment | added | Neinstein | Though it fits so the site IMO, but it's the Interpersonal skills SE that focuses more on this kind of questions (i.e. "How to explain to my friends that I won't help them anymore in something shady?"). If you don't get a really good answer here, you may look around there too. | |

| May 3, 2020 at 0:15 | comment | added | jeremy909 | @academic I do intend to maintain a relationship with (many, not all) of these people. I am not worried that I will have any trouble kicking this habit. | |
| May 2, 2020 at 23:46 | comment | added | academic | @jeremy909 In light of your edit, I'd ask -- do you want to maintain a relationship with these people? Maybe, for whatever reason, you do. But if you want to break a bad habit, then it is sometimes a good idea to stop associating with people who indulge in that habit. Depending on your circumstances, you might consider extricating yourself from this relationship -- doing your best to be polite, but not worrying too much about what they think of you. Just a thought. | |

If asked why you stopped cheating yourself, you can argue that you want to test how well you are able to hold your own, without external help. | |
