Have you ever thought about the fact that all teachers are divided into: "those who allow you to cheat" and "those who do not allow you to cheat."
Once I sincerely believed that the teacher does not see the hands nervously wandering under the desk, does not hear the rustle of prepared spurs and the crackling of pages torn out of textbooks, does not notice that your perfectly written answer does not fit with that cowardly confused story that you say aloud.
Now everything is simple in my head.
I think that a student using cheat sheets in the eyes of teachers looks like this.
If you are lucky enough to pass to the first type of teacher, then you will most likely come out of the exam with a good grade and a cool story about spurs that you will later tell your grandchildren.
17 types of cheat sheets
It is high time to classify cheat sheets as a separate type of creativity and recognize it as a separate type of school and university art. You can go further and single out the profession of spur-coach.
A survey of the Internet and a Dodo survey of respondents made it clear that there are a huge number of spurs in the world, so I have selected for you 17 of the most interesting, nostalgic and soulful.
1. Freehand microspurs (classic cribs and accordions)
They are small thesis notes written in neat handwriting on small pieces of paper.
Thanks magicians He made a lot of spurs in the form of small books that fit in the palm of your hand. The spurs themselves were always held in the right hand along with the pen during the exams. He stole this idea from magicians: they use a magic wand to hold something else in the same hand, and the audience does not see through it. In my case, this also worked. Once the teacher suspected that something was wrong and said, well, that's it, give me your spur here. I showed him the “empty” hands, the left one was really empty, and the right one had a pen. The teacher did not guess that there was also a cheat sheet in the same fist.
Not caught, not a thief At the exam on the ruler, the spurs were in the sleeve, when I had already passed the exam and held out the record book to the teacher, they all flew out of the sleeve to her on the table in a pile. Her answer was: "Not caught - not a thief." She gave me my grade and I left.
traitor wind I studied well until about the middle of the first year of the institute, I passed tests well, and so on. But then something went wrong… In the meantime, another exam in higher mathematics came, for which I was preparing on the last night, I drank coffee until I was blue in the face, couldn’t sleep at all, went to the exam in the morning and just flunked it.
But I prepared well for the retake, sewing pockets to the inside of a rather short skirt and stuffing spurs into them, including cardboard ones, which my classmates who had already passed the exam kindly gave me.
The Syktyvkar heat was on the street, and the windows in the office were open. I asked to sit near the window so that I would not be hot. The teacher paid no attention to me at all, perhaps because my appearance did not suggest the presence of spurs. I calmly wrote everything off, but part of the spurs fell out of the secret pockets of the skirt on my legs. It was not possible to return them to their place. I decided the only way to get rid of the evidence was to throw the spurs out the open window, which I did. Before I could exhale, the wind picked up and my evidence began to flock back to me through the same open window. The guy sitting next to me was laughing very hard. The teacher, by some miracle, did not notice what was happening, or pretended not to notice. And I continued to take the exam.
2. Gigashpores by hand
The same abstract notes, only written in normal handwriting on A4 paper.
paper airbag Once I came to the exam in high fur boots (these are such fur boots to the very knees). The victory consisted in the fact that A4 spurs for all 55 tickets fit into these mechovunts. True, I moved after that with a characteristic rustling. But there was also disappointment: when I sat down at the desk, the treacherous boots slipped off, exposing my paper airbag! The teacher was very understanding and sympathetic, although maybe he was just blind? In short, I got my five, despite the profane preparation for cheating.
3. Bombs
Ready-made answers to tickets, written by hand and taken from the most secluded places at the right time.
Not all bombs explode twice Once I made "invisible bombs" - standard notebook sheets, on which I printed solutions in light gray type on a printer. The sheets just lay on the table. Just in case, there was a pristine piece of paper on top. When the need arose to peep, I busily shifted the sheets from place to place and peeped. Such a scheme worked for me, but the comrade to whom I handed over my treasures was set on fire and expelled.
4. Printed microspurs
Ready-made answers to tickets printed on a very small scale.
At the limit of human eyes When I was at university, personal computers and printers were no longer a rarity. Thanks to these miracles of our time, it was possible to make up cheat sheets in .doc with a font of the third size ... Happiness, delight, all the material fits on a couple of A4 sheets. But insufficient calculations let us down: it turned out that human eyes are not as good as .doc and cannot read the third largest font.
5. Spurs that the teacher allowed
The format of such cheat sheets is determined by the teacher himself:
- some allow you to bring cheat sheets in which there will be no words, but everything is encrypted in the form of symbols;
- some allow writing hints on tickets.
Everything as agreed When we took the exam, the teacher said that you can write whatever you want on the tickets as hints. But he did not think that we could fit all the answers to the tickets, with all the evidence, on one sheet of A4. There was nothing to argue, everything was as agreed, so it worked.
The teacher helped me to write the first spur, part-time mom My mother taught me to write my first spur, because she did not share my zeal to learn everything and twisted her finger at her temple. By the way, my mother was a teacher at my own school.
In the 8th grade, my mother brought me some kind of innovative pen, from which you could pull out a piece of paper, and it automatically rolled back. Again, my mother bought me invisible pens for the same purpose.
6. Textbooks and GDZ
It all depends on the degree of your impudence, not everyone will be able to write off books during the exam.
Do not trust the inside pockets of jackets At school, on the control, I copied from the GDZ, which was kept in a jacket. And when I went to turn in the work, the book fell right on the floor with a huge bang. There was an awkward pause, and, of course, a deuce.
7. On the edges of pens, pencils
We have not identified people with such stories in the anamnesis, but there is a story on the Internet about a student who came to the exam with 55 identical pens (according to the number of tickets). The ticket number was marked on the cap, the answer was scratched on the edges of the handle.
8. On the rulers
This format of cheat sheets is suitable for subjects where the correct formula will be a good clue. They can be arranged neatly on rulers and erasers.
9. Chocolates, juices
Here, what is your imagination enough for: you can get confused and print a spur instead of the composition of a chocolate bar, or you can just come with a fake juice.
The Secret Life of Juice This is how I make spurs: I buy children's juices the size of my old phone, I prepare a spur in some editor. Then I drink juice, make a door in a juice pack, fill the cavity with cotton, and put the phone in there. At the exam, I pretend to drink juice, while I carefully open the door and flip through cheat sheets.
10. Cheat sheets on human limbs: palms
Unfortunately, the area of a human palm is a rather finite resource; it will not be possible to place a lot of information. Moreover, people are used to sweating as soon as they start to worry, which means that important knowledge can be smeared. So this type of cheat sheet has more minuses than pluses, and it’s pretty pale.
11. Cheat sheets on human limbs: knees
Another thing - women's knees! You can immediately see the advantage over the previous point: a large area, the risk of smearing practically disappears, and not every teacher will ask you to lift your skirt before allowing you to take the exam.
Get your knees ready for summer She always wrote on her knees, put on a button-down dress and unbuttoned it under her desk. All Spanish was handed over just like that. It was hard in the winter session.
12. Cheat sheets in push-button phones
In them, you calmly route without taking your hand out of your pocket.
NOKIA E52 When I entered the university, I had a wonderful push-button smartphone NOKIA E52. The tactile feel of the buttons made it possible to search for the desired ticket in the .doc file, keeping your hand in your pocket. With the advent of touchscreen phones, life has become more complicated - in order to find something on them, you had to look at the screen and press the right buttons.
13. Cheat sheets in touch phones
So far, the teachers have not reached I brought my smartphone to the exam. The teachers were aged and did not know that it was possible to download textbooks and any answers to a smartphone. I copied all the answers right in front of him and was happy. So I passed psychology and pedagogy.
14. Hands-free and micro earphones
The technique is simple: put the earpiece in your ear, pull the ticket, choose a comfortable seat. You make a call to a friend who carefully dictates the answer to you. Rumor has it that technology has reached such proportions that even oral exams can be passed in such a way.
Buying such an earphone for a one-time promotion may seem like an expensive undertaking, so you can use the rental service. Available for all million-plus cities, the rental price starts from 300 rubles per day.
и .
Set aside 1000 rubles for a doctor The earpiece consists of two magnets that are thrown directly into the auricle and fall on the eardrum, and a wire loop that is worn around the neck like a chain. The wire is connected to the phone (via Bluetooth or via the audio jack). The phone sends a signal along the wire, the current passing through the circuit generates a magnetic field. The magnets vibrate in a magnetic field, turning the eardrum into a sound source. The process of installing and removing magnets is very unpleasant. I tried such a scheme once, it was hard to hear the exam and coped without an earpiece.
And one girl from the stream managed to get one of the magnets only from the surgeon in the hospital.
15. Spurs in players and e-books
Spurs in players and e-books flourished ten years ago, when teachers did not yet know that txt formats could be written into these little things. But the heyday and sunset of cheat sheets in smart watches was swift, like the flight of the Chelyabinsk meteorite.
16. Smart watch
I propose to take a closer look at this type of cheat sheets. This with a special display, the text on which is visible only when viewed with special polarized glasses. Glasses are supplied. Externally, the screen looks black, others do not see the image on it, because. think it's off.
17. Crib sheets on the verge of my humanitarian fiction
I'll just leave these three cases here.
Case number 1. At the beginning of the test, an exe file of the program was downloaded from Dropbox using the memorized direct url ...On the networks at the university there were tests in the form of tests that had to be taken in a computer room. Questions and answers were known in advance. At the same time, the answers were absolute game with a bunch of little meaningful numbers, which was disgusting to learn. My friend and I had a program in which all questions were hammered in.
How it looked: at the beginning of the test, the exe file of the program was downloaded from Dropbox using the memorized direct URL and launched. The program itself was not displayed in the taskbar or tray, and is usually invisible at all. By pressing the spacebar, it appeared in the form of a translucent window or disappeared again. And she kept track of all the additions to the clipboard, trying to find suitable ones among the questions sewn into her.
That is, it was necessary to read the tests, highlighting part of the question in between, copy the selected part. While the verifier is far away, it was necessary to press the spacebar and see a window in which there was already the correct answer to this question. And then press the spacebar again to hide the program window. It worked great and helped me pass those stupid tests.
Case number 2. Sooo comfortable just to sit and write offOne day, the guys from the group washed down spurs into a program that looked like a console file manager like FAR Manager, and “thrown it into the network”, which was used by the computer class where we took the exam. It was sooo comfortable to just sit and write off!
Case number 3. If you are an IT specialist.This story is not entirely about spurs, but about how easy it is to turn in assignments during the semester if you are an IT specialist.
One teacher, coming for a couple, always sat down at one computer and inserted a hard disk with a file, where the completed assignments were marked.
So, we installed an ftp-server on this computer, and calmly set ourselves tasks from our seats. Everyone got 5, except for the guy who basically wanted to pass everything himself. Well, in the same way, to merge all the tasks with answers from a flash drive from an information security teacher in the same way is priceless.
The end
After all of the above, I have only two questions: “Are there any spurs that teachers still don’t know about?” and “Is life hard for modern pupils/students?”
PS I consider it my duty to note that I do not in any way promote cheat sheets and cheating as a worthy form of behavior. I know very well that fundamental knowledge is the basis of professionalism.
PPS Watch the French movie "Jerks in the Exams". It came out in 1980, and the students and teachers have not changed since then.
