Cheating or not cheating??

1. Copying a few pages from Wikipedia and turning it in as your assignment. Cheating.
2. Asking someone else to write a few paragraphs of your paper for you—but you still do most of it. Cheating.
3. Asking someone to proofread your assignment and fix the grammar mistakes for you. NOT cheating.
4. Having someone read what you wrote and tell you if they can understand it or not. You take their ideas and fix what you wrote. Not cheating.
5. Using an article from an English language learning website by copying it and turning it in. Cheating.
6. Finding an article online that says exactly what you were thinking, so you just turn that in. Cheating.
7. Reading an article that you found online, thinking about it, and then writing a response in your own words. Not cheating.
8. Doing a writing assignment for one class and then turning it in for two, three, or even more classes because you are too busy to do another writing assignment. Cheating.
9. Finding some writing online, but changing some of the verbs and nouns before you turn it in. Cheating.
10. Finding a paper online, but changing all of the verbs before you turn it in. Cheating.
11. Copying an article that you found, but you don’t get caught so no one ever knows about it. Cheating.

I think maybe it's not cheating if you remark those pages are from Wikipedia(No.1.)

Hey, I agree with you.But I think we can refer to the website and change by our own ideas and words.
