How to Cheat on a Test

Instead of going with the typical “funny” commercial I decided to go more along the lines of “clever.” This commercial entails a student in a large classroom completing an exam while passing it in past the given time. His professor tells him hes too late and that hes failed. He then asks his professor if he knows who he is and the professor replies with “no.” The person then takes his test and puts it in a random spot in the stack of papers. At Salem State this would be a tough act to pull off because we do not have classrooms this large but I seriously wonder if this has ever been done before. From a cultural perspective, I can see this type of behavior occuring in the United States as well as parts of Europe. Obviously, it is a common thing for students to attempt to cheat on tests in certain parts of the globe; however, I believe you would never see something like this happening in Japan for instance. They have different morals than others in the category of academic honesty as well as stricter rules in some aspects while they may be lax in other areas.
