Students using 'James Bond' gadgets to cheat in exams

Educational institutions will have to come up with better plans to combat these new ways of cheating, and devise solutions that could range from banning devices to scanning for radio signals.

I personally see no logical reason to cheat. Yes you might get away with it, yes you may even receive good grades. However, it will not be your achievement. It's satisfactory to know that through your own sheer will and determination you are able to achieve something. Or do some just have no conscience at all (-_-), scratch that, I know some have no conscience (-_-)

Its also a straight up bad strategy. Even if it does work once or twice, most worthwhile courses get progressively more difficult so if you cheat past say 2nd year you get slaughtered in Hons.

Beyond a certain level complexity it also becomes essentially impossible to cheat. If you need to produce 20 pages of calculations on the spot based on a scenario you haven't seen how are you going to cheat? Can't exactly put crib notes on a ruler for that. Either you know the stuff or you don't.

I know a couple of people that cheated on smaller modules at varsity. Low morals combined with a very pragmatic view of the world.
