That’s good. I took AP computer science in high school thinking we would learn how to make apps with graphical user interfaces (didn’t know there was any other kind) so I was uninterested and never payed attention/studied since when we only learned Java and not the kind for making UI’s.
I had a friend whose mom was a programmer and she would help us get the answers to homework problems. I would change variable names and a few other things, but one time we still got caught with way too similar answers.
In order not to get my friend and his mom in trouble, I told the teacher that I had in fact cheated but not from my friend. I stayed up for a few nights learning HTML and other things (well, modifying other code I found) in order to make a blog where a similar question as the homework problem was discussed, so that I could cite it as my source. At first I tried using blogging software but the timestamps are automatically coded as the current date, which wouldn’t work. So I had to make my own blog-looking site from scratch complete with several months worth of content, which was pretty much plagiarized I think.
It was way more effort than actually doing the homework would have been.
