RhinestoneCowboy 2 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 So I was taking a final for one of my MBA classes last night. It was a 30 question multiple choice exam (pretty easy). When the first person done when to hand the exam to the professor, I noticed that he graded the thing in about 10 seconds without a key. Once he did this I figured there was some sort of "pattern" to the exam and I was able to discover what is was with about 2/3rds of the answers. Once I figured this out I aced the exam.Is this cheating or just his fault for not mixing up the answers??? Link to post Share on other sites
BilliardsBoy 0 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Good read, nice hand.No really. You didn't look at any answers or sneak a cheat sheet. You saw the actions of the professor, read the situation, and made a good decision.If a professor makes an MBA test with a pattern on the multiple choice, he should be fired anyway.Did you ace it?

kers2 0 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 That is simply amazing.How a professor could be that (insert any deragatory word) is beyond comprehension. Graduate level final exam and he makes the key a pattern so he can grade it fast and save time. Awesome for you though Link to post Share on other sites
Rybo 0 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Not cheating. I do have to say though that I understand why you would be apprehensive. It seems like it would be wrong but, if you found a pattern and it works then good for you...hell, some of the greatest discoveries of mankind happened because someone noticed a pattern. Take fingerprint recognition, quantum physics, even Velcro, all of these were discovered or at least furthered by the recognition of patterns. Maybe you'll invent something...and for that I consider you a hero, not a cheat. I salute you sir. :-) Link to post Share on other sites
Hobbes 1 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 The downside to tenure; a lot of professors stop caring. Not cheating. Did you still take the test and check it against the pattern or just go with the pattern? Link to post Share on other sites

This guy enjoys what he does, but the way he teaches and grades the class wasn't much of a challenge.... Link to post Share on other sites
