Besides the fact that cheating on the homework is still cheating, the homework is meant to help you master the material. So, if you don’t put in the effort and use a cheating tool like Chegg, then you will not learn and you are setting yourself up for a situation where you will be tempted to cheat on the exams.
Or better yet, just don’t cheat.
Even before the rise of Chegg and other such services, it has always been the case that if you are unable to explain any of your submitted work, the presumption is that the work is not your own, and you were therefore guilty of an academic integrity violation.
They’re trying to help you understand the concepts and teach you problem solving through their leading questions. These leading questions can also help them understand what exactly you are confused about in the problem. Most TAs and instructors I know are willing to “give” entire HW answers if the student can follow through these leading questions to the answer - that way, the student has learned it.
a guy I know got his grade back already in class and passed the class but chegg sent him an honor code email but UCSD hasn’t sent anything yet ?
yes, that is the simple and crass answer. but, life happens and temptations occur. it doesn’t hurt to inform people what cheating might entail or those with the intention to cheat that freedom of choice doesn’t mean freedom of consequences. technically, people can cheat all they want but they will be held accountable.
May I ask for what class?
Hi, can you tell me what happened? Did the University contact him?
I would have happily agreed if you had simply said that there are consequences to cheating, but your original post sounded more like “try not to get caught.”
ah no. sorry if that’s what i sounded like. what i meant was that many don’t use chegg anymore because of cheating issues but then resort to other aids. same cheating act but different “fonts” per se.
