Nobody pick me up on the 'it's' that's in there before elbows. It was designed to be a joke, but, when reading it back it wasn't at all noticeable that it was so.

the algorithm is the rule....like, if someone said,
(let me find a really easy math rule)..
here's one for multiplying by 4, and if you REMEMBER this rule, just like with most math rules, you look smart, you just have to remember the algorithm, but we have calculators so it doesn't matter:
To quickly multiply by four, double the number and then double it again
sounds easy, but no matter silly, if you just remember the "code" or algorithm, for mechanical aspects of math, you will get the answer right as song as you remember the rules. that's easy for multiplying, but with algebra, it's only rules, remember the rules and you get it right unless you are careless or forget the details. if you have a good teacher, they will explain the big picture in how this fits together within the level of the student(s).

I cheat in Computer Programming because that class is impossible to pass, especially because the teacher doesn't even know what she is doing most of the time so I use other people's.
If you are part of a merit program in your school (scholarship, etc.)...this should go without saying, but...please don't volunteer the answer.
If you are asked if you ever cheated, be honest, but don't volunteer it if you have.
And if you have cheated, ask yourself why, and then, find out what you are lacking in study skills. Form study groups, ask students who did well on the exam how they approached the exam (if they say that they never study or didn't really do anything, avoid them, they are gifted, liars or cheaters, most people have to study so be careful about people who can't tell you how they approached something), and again, go to your local bookstore/library and find the section on "studying" and read books that will teach you how to study a particular subject. Also, in the career counseling center in your school, most schools will also have an area that focuses on study skills. Spend time learning it, it should've been learned in elementary/high school, but it doesn't matter now, if you lack the skills, develop it now.
The cheating is bad, but justifying it is worse. If you have cheated, then it's time to figure out where you are lacking and focus on building those skills.
