I disagree that using online help is cheating. Sure if you look up and exact homework question, copy it without giving it a second look thats for sure not good. But I have found sometimes there are teachers out there that are legit terrible at molding minds and without the internet I dont think I could have got through some classes. My thinking is that at the end of the day if you understand the material and are prepared for the test then who cares if you were helped by some online work as long as you understand exactly how they arrived at the answer and can arrive at the same conclusions yourself then is it really cheating ?

I think there's a fine line between using chegg for cheating or as a tool (like you use a book). Ultimately, YOU know whether you cheated or not. You can easily fool everyone and barely pass the exams but, as he said, whenever you get the grade you know you didn't earn it. (not saying you or anyone here does cheat, just pointing out the nuance) It is a shame though that some people are scraping by with the same grades but they didn't cheat at all. I know people who cheat on almost every homework (while acting like they did it themselves or only used chegg as a resource). In my experience, it really shows. They copy incorrect answers for the hw and they do poorly on exams. Also, if you ask them a question about the hw, they won't be able to explain why they did certain things or where they got some random equation.

So I’m getting a civil/ environmental engineering degree, And I absolutely love all of the math, physics/ natural science classes that I’ve been taking. Despite me having a passion for the subject and devoting tremendous amounts of time studying (so I have basically no free time at all) I often end up with B’s and sometimes C’s on exams. I noticed in my program in particular, an unsettlingly large portion of the students just blindly copy homework from chegg, or other classmates while barely even reading what they’re writing down, and more unfortunately, easily get away with chegging answers on exams - and getting A’s. Just an example of how bad it could get, for my Diff Eq class I showed up to every lecture, did all the homework honestly, watched video after video ect.. put in the 10 hrs a week. The final was very hard and I ended up with a B for the course. One of my classmates barely showed up to class, and if they did they were just on their phone anyway or hungover from partying the night before. I found out through conversation that this person didn’t even have the slightest clue about the subject. They were able to get away with using chegg on the final, and ended up scoring an A in the course. I find it painfully aggravating that while I am passionate about my degree and take studying very seriously, all these people just fly by without putting in the time or effort, and can preform better than I can. Not to mention it’s also a concern that people who are cheating in their Statics and Strength of Materials classes are going to be building bridges. I know it’s a long rant but I’m super glad to hear you talking about it so big thanks.

@Jacob Pesquera Nepotism is quite a thing. The incompetent can play competent very hard, especially by making others seem like the incompetent ones in the eyes of the fellow incompetent superiors. Since people are working from home, I realize that the person I live with is one of those incompetent superiors. It may bite them in little bits, but it bites the genuinely competent people below them in the career ladder much more. Imagine never being given proper instructions by a person that can't communicate correctly and doesn't remember what they last said or did, yet believes that they're never wrong, then being fired by that person for not making something out of the nothing that they gave you. In a way, it's a great thing to not be under that boss, but on the other hand, you're out of a job and that employer will not provide a good reference. I see this happen. It's real.

@Jacob Pesquera I wasn't an employee in the situations I've mentioned, just an observer. The boss is an older family member of mine. I can understand that not completing tasks or following orders is a way to get fired. How do you follow incomplete or nonexistent orders? If you have a boss that doesn't assign a task but thought that they did, does this and actions like this often, and is too headstrong to believe that the fault ever lies with them (therefore blaming the employee that was suppossed to recieve the task), then you're in a terrible situation possibly caused by nepotism. Any other person with the characteristics of this boss and no support system would be dropped in a moment. This same boss and others like this boss are allowed to stay in their positions because their network is tightly woven. This is an example of how nepotism keeps incompetent people afloat.

With the advent of the internet and online solution manuals, it's hard to differentiate between cheating and studying, to me. As an aerospace engineer student I used solution manuals to try understand the complex problems and practice until I understand the process and not just that individual problem. I take notes on how the textbook explains it but also try to understand the complex assumptions necessary to even start some problems. I always try to make sure that I am learning because some concepts need 1 hour of lecture and 3 hours of practice. And having that answer around helps in developing your own process. I do think cheating is prevalent but that could be curved if professors make their own questions like how my orbital mechanics and spacecraft design professors make ridiculous questions that can't be found online and the fundamentals are necessary to attempt the question.

If your goal is to do physics research, then everything up to the point when you start that research is just preparation for your goal. And once you actually start any true research project, then *by definition* no one has done it before so the answers will not be found online. But as a researcher, you do use other people's work; you reference previous papers and results from those papers, and "cheating" is actually a good way to train for this. Even quoting something like Ito's lemma, probably the most quoted lemma/result of all time, you _still_ check the result and make sure you understand it and that it's being applied correctly, because the correctness of your own research depends on it. And that's why I never care about "cheating". I only ask that if someone gets a result from someone/somewhere else, they give credit and attribute the result to the source. Because that's what you'll have to do when you write your thesis.

Cheating is just mindlessly copy-pasting an answer as your own without understanding it. If getting a result from somewhere else is considered cheating then maybe we should start expelling all students for getting theory from their professors. Then we can lock up all our students in a dark room so they can reinvent all technology and human knowledge on their own.

I don't think looking up online solutions for the HW problem is cheating, because students also learn from looking at the solution. Going to office hour and working in group is great, may also give an advantage for building relationship with professors and classmates, but not everyone can go to office hour every single time they have a question or could possibly socially not active to talk to their classmates. Sometimes looking at solutions and knowing what's wrong is much faster and efficient way to understand the material. The truth is when it comes to exam, you would probably fail if you don't know the material. I actually recommend people to search and look for the information they need in online, because students needs massive information especially as time proceeds to upper year and it is really up to students to be prepared for every knowledge required for the degree.

Great video as usual! On cheating, I do greatly agree with the perspective of this one prof. who went viral for his reply to the same. He said that we are creatures of habit, and if we develop habits that are going to back-stab us in the butt, then thazz not too good, you see. Cheating should not be made into a habit, be it any form of cheating. All other reasons like “the institution will get bad face, it is morally incorrect, etc” doesn’t actually matter. Because, in the end, when we start to look for the easy way out everywhere, we will realize it when there isn’t any other way around the task and we are not competent enough for the usual way; Our helplessness at these times may lead to great losses which could have been avoided had we kept check on ourselves. Example, you are the only man at your job, and now you suddenly don’t have anyone else to do your work for you. That being said, it is not that I don’t cheat, sometimes I feel that one gotta lay back and relax on somethings when there are other important things that need my attention. It is just that I don’t make a habit out of it, no one should.

Big problem for me is that I feel really disadvantaged when unable to form a study group. I know that I would be getting as good grades as my peers in study groups. Online resources on similar questions helps me get that edge back (especially since everyone in my course seems to do that anyway). To me, spending hours and hours wasting time because I'm missing something really simple (and have no light to shine on my assumptions) is a huge waste of time, does not make me a better physicist, and is just not helpful for my learning. But yeah, again, definitely agree that study groups are SUPER helpful. But they are almost too helpful - they give way too much of an advantage and save way too much time - people who can't form study groups are in trouble.

The overall message is pretty straight forward: learn the material. I think that, as others have said, that doesn't exclude online help. It can play a small role (certainly office hours and other people should be a larger role). If you find that a first look at a homework has you reaching for Google, then something is wrong, but if it's to check if an answer is reasonable, then ok. A couple times, you might even have a fun task of molding various bits of info from (seemingly) unrelated problems into something that will help on the current problem.

It's not cheating to get homework help from a solutions manual or online answer site--it's no different than hiring a tutor. If he assigns problems from a book I think it's fair to assume that he expects that. The purpose of homework is to facilitate learning--not to be a take-home exam. If the prof disagrees then he can get off his lazy ass and write his own homework problems.

There's a fine line between cheating and taking advantage of available resources. I think it comes down to what you want. If you want to understand the material at a deep level, and be able to apply what you've learned towards solving new problems, then cheating on homeworks is self-defeating and selling yourself short. If you just want to get a decent grade in a class and move on with your life, then I think it is okay to use the online resources available. However, by choosing to look-up the solution, you are going down the "rote-memorization" path, and are passing up an opportunity to increase your problem-solving strength, and add to your problem solving toolkit. If you rely on this strategy too much, things will become exceedingly difficult for you as you move past your prerequisite classes into more advanced courses. The time-management / understanding tradeoff was difficult for me. I decided to significantly cut back my course hours when I got into higher level classes so I could devote more time to each class. The downside was that it took me 6.5 years to get a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering. Learning == Pain.

There were peers of mine that copy answers found online or from others, I consider that cheating. I think solutions, or similar solutions because your lucky AF if the professor gave a HW problem that is 100% common enough to be found online, can be an effective means to learn the material, if done right that is. For instance, if you have already given an attempt at solving the question to the fullest but know your answer is flawed, looking up key points can reveal a mistake in reasoning or mathematics that you used, then from that point you rework the problem. Also a solution can be used when you have reached a certain point in your work where you cant figure out how to move on, nothing in the notes/lecture/text says anything on this, but a worked out solution can show you the next step, and if you don't understand why you can really begin to learn. You have the answer but now you need to justify it, and that will teach you why it is the next step in solving the problem. Just don't cheat yourself, work out the problem, see the solutions or questions to your peers and professor as a similar tool to help you reason out the next step and solve the problem yourself

Cheating only gets you so far, once you’ve received your degree through cheating and go into your research/job career it will become rather obvious to everyone that you haven’t actually learnt the stuff you were supposed to know. There really is no point in doing so, if you are studying mathematics, physics, chemistry etc you probably have some interest in actually learning about the subject and by cheating you are progressing the program without actually understanding the core ideas, so it will become more and more difficult the further you get into your education since upcoming courses/material will be somewhat based on the previous ones. Going through PDE without having a single clue what derivatives or integrals are for example will be essentially impossible.

The idea that a physics degree is valuable because you make it harder on yourself than it otherwise could be is meaningless to someone who is unconvinced that everything they're learning is essential for their future. Plus, I don't see the difference between someone online telling you the answer compared to your professor, a classmate, or a tutor telling you the answer. You can't very easily get someone to only reveal exactly as much about the solution as you want, but you can very easily just stop reading an online answer once you got the hint you wanted. Plus, have you ever wondered why homework should be graded in the first place? If it's for learning, and getting things wrong is part of learning, are you not being punished for learning? It's much more pragmatic to take the attitude that "only I can decide what I need to know, and I will otherwise do everything I can to get this piece of paper that's stopping me from doing what I want to do."

In Intro to Engineering Design (a 9th grade class that I did last year) we were doing inventor (3d modeling) and designing parts off of a textbook then checking the mass to see if we got it right. the teacher told us one day "so Imagine you are done with all of the parts. one thing you could do is upload them to google drive then charge $5 per person per part(share it by email). you'll be making hundreds of dollars easily. Now I don't care if you do that but you should because then you aren't gaining the skills to be able to make the parts so if I want you to design a thing later on you won't know how to. so I don't care if you cheat but you should." that was one of my favorite teacheres.

I have to admit I mostly don't hand in homework and then do it later when the solutions are online mostly because I've convinced myself (and idk if it's actually true) that I can not come up with some of the steps or solutions on my own, and would rather see the steps and then do the exercise again than veer into an entirely wrong direction. That said, the course that I did best so far was electromagnetism because every week we had a tutorial class where you solved homework assignments together with your classmates and the help of your student assistant and the student assistant could help me exactly the right amount where I solved them by myself but if I got stuck he could make me ask the right questions to help me progress

Definitely don't use websites like Chegg or Yahoo Answers for your homework, but definitely do use things like Stack Exchange or similar worked problems on professors' webpages from different universities to help you figure out how to do a problem. There's a good chance someone else has used the technique or missing key part you're looking for. This is especially useful for when you're taking reading classes in grad school, and you keep bumping into problems that are left to the reader or parts that cite results from other books.

I much prefer *StackOverflow* to Yahoo Answers. As I am self-studying while not in university, I frequently go there to study exam-like questions and exemplary solutions by others, great sources for brain-picking. Over there, I am learning arcane notations and jargons from the best of prolific math experts. Also, I go look there to look at their illustrations in diagrams or animation. Learning from examples isn't cheating. Cheating in a bad way is through academic dishonesty. A student who cheats without studying is being downright lazy and dishonest. He or she will pay dearly for the mistakes of cheating in exams. Graduating with a degree by dishonesty won't win you a career or promotion. You will get fired for your incompetence and skill deficiency, while being straddled with debts for years, as you have a hefty student loans to pay off. After many failed trials at places of employment, you will have gaps in your résumés. Cheating is not worth your future ruins.

U couldn’t have said it better. But when grad school requires a minimum of like 84 and knowing hw can help boost my grade. Gets hard not too but I’m trying not too. If they put less emphasis on the grades u get I feel like a lot more students would be willing to take hits on hw in order to get that deep fundamental aspect of physics.

I think it really depends on whether your homework counts for your grade. At oxford, we often get assigned problem sheets on material that has yet to be covered. And most problems are quite hard and aren't copied from a text book. So we often end up looking up solutions of a very similar problem and using it to solve our problem sheets. I can't see any other way to do it, plus in tutorials we get questioned so there is no blind copying

Well, you're not supposed to magically come up with all the answers to the universe on your own and reinvent physics from ground up. The point of education is to learn and understand, not to reinvent your own version of calculus by yourself

Let me tell you something, NOT everywhere do you have professors like yours.I have snarky professors who can't even answer my questions because they really suck. They just read of of book and slides. I have no idea how to go from that lecture to solving problems. So what I do, is find some example problems and learn extract out the key points. I make a vague mental map of strategies to types of problems. Its not as good as coming up with the solution. But that's because my teachers SUCK at giving homework. Home works should build you up for the problems but their difficulty is steeper than 80°. I would say I am a reverse engineer of solutions.

Does it count as cheating if I find the solutions in the books the teacher himself suggests me to check? I am taking the course "functions of mathematical physics" and problems can get quite difficult. Homeworks weight very little in the final grade, so I feel like the teacher gives us homework just as practice and so we can kind of teach ourselves to do the exercises and I have actually learnt a lot. I found the actual test i had (which is the one that actually weights in the final grade) very easy compared to the homeworks, so I guess that's the point. Cheers from an astronomy student from Chile!

I usually know how to complete the problems, except for when I don't. I look up one answer, see how it was done, and then what I would do is learn from that answer and apply it to most of the problems without cheating. Sometimes looking at how someone solved a problem is more time efficient than going back through the lecture notes, re-watching lectures, etc. Cheaters cheat and always look at answers, but I honestly do it to one or two problems when I legitimately cannot learn a solution in a timely manner. Plus my professor doesn't even tell me how to do these problems in class which is really damn annoying. He'd rather spend that 20 minutes sending/talking to us about an Elon musk video on rocket drag, and then give us an assignment on that, instead of giving us useful problems to work on. If you disagree, maybe I'm just a loser that cheats, but how does that explain my high test scores then?

You aren't wrong and that's not really cheating in my book. It's funny because when I had to code using python for my thesis and I ask the professor for help, he usually ask me if i tried googling the concepts and looking for codes similar to the one im working on. I dont take it and just copy pasta, i had to adjust the code to fit my own, figure out what bugs might be created from this line, and will it run when i use diff parameters. It's the same with physics, my quantum professor tells me when i go to his office hrs is research the topic for hw see what ppl have done, and think about how they approach it then work on it urself.

I've just graduated from bsc ecology and in the first year, somebody was caught cheating in one of the major exams. They completely had a mental breakdown in front of everyone and were escorted from the room. They were never seen again in class. They either left out of embarrassment or were forced out. Don't cheat.

I couldn't believe how many of my classmates used chegg. The funny part is that my homework grade was actually the highest in the class (based off of correctness), and my exam scores reflected that too. Moral of the story is to work through the problems, they are meant to take you hours, if you are really stuck, go wash some dishes, and the solution will come to you. 10-20 question Mastering physics hw could take me up to 4 hours to complete, and the professors can see how long you spend on that problem. Many reasons not to misuse internet solutions on hw.

I am not entirely sure i am convinced to never looking up answers, especially if we aren't talking about homework but you going through a book (say Griifith's CED) in order to revisit/learn under self study. Am i really supposed to work through all of Griffith's problem without knowing the mathematical tricks he uses to begin with? Doesn't me trying to solve,fail, check to see what he did and learn from it, make me better? Am i really supposed to reinvent calculus? This is something that has been bothering me lately, making me think that perhaps i am not cut for it. "If you struggle with Griffith's then stop now." is what i keep reading online on similar discussions. And it sucks to not have been born with a really deep mathematical intuition to be able to see through 100s of different approaches to a problem and determine that "Yes, this is correct one.". Practice makes perfect they say, but how do you practice critical thinking? Take the following for example, i worked through a problem that was as easy as; "Here's the potential as a functon of r. Find the electric field and charge density." Cool, i work through it, i recheck my steps, go back to my first assumption, wonder about it if i could try something else and decide that it's ok. Check solution and apparently he uses an obscure different way to get the charge (instead of taking divergence in spherical, he splits the divergence in 2 parts, and one of the parts derives a 4π times dirac's delta. And at that point i am "How exactly would i even see that?" And then i fall into the same circle of questioning of why do i even bother with it. Help.

I think that finding a similar problem and answer online isn't necesarily cheating. Of course copying an answer verbatim is but if you find a problem you were not assigned that is similar, then you figure out how to solve that problem, it can lead to ideas about how to solve your current problem

I dont know but I view cheat as a "necessery evil" when you are really desparate. In certain universities such tolerant and compassionate teachers / lecturers are really rare. I'd rather propose that cheat during university / college when this is really needed (in order to minimize dept) but catch up in breaks, like summer breaks. Of course it requires "true calling to be physicist", but I think a true physicist's life is about physics and any other thing such as familiy, girlfriend and etc is an excuse to pracrastination.

Does this include checking your answers in the back of the book? I figured seeing the error in your understanding is beneficial. If you know that you're wrong, then you can find out why by doing the problem in different ways until you get the right answer. It's like experimenting with techniques. I was advised to check in the back after doing the work and coming to an answer by a teacher.
