first off I want to say thanks for everyone who has replied.
For the record, the whole cheaters thing is not my primary concern here. I started this whole thread b/c I felt like I felt I was prepared for the test, paniced and ended up doing terrible. From what some of my friends tell me, it happens. And this is honestly the very first time it's happened to me, so I didn't know how to react. I *KNOW* that bombing the test was my fault.. so I'm not trying to point the blame of my poor preformance on someone else.
When I was discussing the exam with some people in my project group for that class and one of them openly admitted to me that he cheated it did make me angry.
I believe at our school nothing can really happen about cheating unless you are caught (although I haven't read the University Code of Conduct in awhile, so I could be wrong)
I basically want to make sure the cheating doesn't happen again. If it means we have to go to the bookstore and buy those blue books for test taking, then so be it.. In my eyes spending a buck or two is a pretty good investment if it means cheaters can't hide their notes in them.
Thanks so much for everyone's posts
