Some students are bombarded with assignments and tests that sometimes have to be turned in within a short period of time. I recently interviewed a friend of mine, a second year medical student at the University of the West Indies, Mona, who said the workload was heavy but manageable once you organize yourself properly. But of course that's his opinion, for others it might not be so simple. We asked him, “Have you ever cheated?” To date, the answer is yet to come. This time I decided to interview a family member, a lawyer, who graduated from two prestigious universities, Stanford University and Harvard University. She remembered the workload she faced during her studies, the stress it caused. She admitted to cheating on two exams during her university life and regrets doing so. She went on to say that cheating is a choice, no matter the situation, you have to work hard and accept the grade you get because that's what you worked for. Because the workload is too heavy, some students would only work to meet the requirements necessary to pass the course, other than fully understanding the lesson being taught. Additionally, students would not work as efficiently as they should, leading them to cheat just to pass the exam.
