A few anecdotes from college (15 years ago now) regarding cheating/"cheating": I transferred from community college, where we used C++. The new school used Java, but the C++ classes still counted as credit at the new school, so I was in upper division classes. I asked a teacher about it, they said "theres no way you can survive this class if you don't already know Java." I used one weekend to learn Java, and saw it wasn't much different. However, throughout the semester that teacher would continually say "I know there are cheaters in this class because I know some of you don't even know Java." Uhuh. My first actual cheating encounter was also that same semester, after I turned in my first project for a class, a classmate asked to see how I did something. Ignorant me sent them my project so they could. However, we had a final project built on the first. After the class ended they admitted they never finished the first, and used my first project as a base for their final project. Lesson learned. Someone offered me $200 to do a group project with them. Not really cheating, but their intentions were obvious. No thanks. Of course, plenty of dead weight on other group projects. But nothing as overt as the above two incidents.
