I "cheated" in one of my junior level CompSci classes. Forget what the name of it was, but we ended up doing a fair amount with low level debugging/analysis, assembly, etc.
One of the big multi-week projects had a series of increasingly difficult questions about different aspects of a compiled program that you were supposed to figure out. We were told we could use whatever tools we were comfortable with using.
So I used a C decompiler and finished the entire thing in about 5 minutes.
- rm_-rf_slash 9y agoThat sounds like an inspired and competent solution to the problem. Given that the article focused on pre-made work shared amongst students, this hardly sounds like cheating at all.
- strictnein 9y agoAgreed. In reality, I cheated myself more than anything else. I ended up needing to teach myself some of those skills last year, 15+ years later.
