Course: International Marketing
I was definitely really nervous to cheat on this one. Not because I don’t know shit about International Marketing, but because I have huge ears and wearing a fitted hat makes me look like a dumb ass. Anyway, I walked in this class and sat my ass down. The teacher gave out the exams one at a time and actually asked what my name was. That definitely got me a little paranoid, but I played it off as though I belonged there.
Preparation: 5 out of 10
All you pretty much have to do here is get a small piece of paper and write as small as you can on it or type in the smallest font that you can read. When you are done writing on it, tape the paper to the inside of your cap. In this case, I handwrote some of the key terms that I was given from a student in the class the day before. It was really hard to write small enough to fit everything. Not only that, since you don’t have much space to write…if you made a mistake, it screwed you up. It took a while and I held my pen to write like I was performing plastic surgery. Scared to breathe wrong or twitch because it would screw up the entire cheat sheet. Taping the paper to the inside of the hat was a pain, too. Mainly because the tape didn’t stick to the material so well.
Ease of Read: 2 out of 10
Granted: I do not have the best vision in the world. Still, even astronauts would have a hard time reading this shit. I would recommend bringing a fucking microscope to read because I could hardly read what I wrote without making it obvious. Not only was the writing small, but if the paper was facing me at the wrong angle, I had to adjust it and that make me feel like I was on the verge of being caught.
Stealth: 4 out of 10
No, I did not get caught. However, I felt like an elephant in a room full of China, or whatever the expression is. In order to read the cheat sheet, I had to have the hat propped so that it was as visible as can be. If the teacher patrolled the room, it would have been really difficult to hide the fact that I was cheating without becoming suspicious.
Teacher Awareness: 6 out of 10
I honestly felt like the teacher knew I didn’t belong there. Still, he didn’t give me any shit. In regards to the fact that I was cheating, he just sat at his desk and would randomly say “Keep your eyes on your own paper.” I don’t know if anybody else was cheating, but I do know that teachers usually just say that for scare tactics.
Final Consensus: D. Annoying as hell to write so small on a tiny piece of paper. Damn near squinted myself into becoming an Asian just to read the damn thing. On top of all that, if the teacher were near me, he would’ve probably caught on. Not only that, if you are caught here, there is no way to cover your tracks and conceal/hide the cheat sheet. It is on your hat, facing upward on your desk.
Final Grade: TBD
