When in a large class situation, there are many temptations - skipping class, falling asleep, doing other work, cheating, etc. Each person handles the large class situation in his or her own way. Thomas is enrolled in a Statistics class with about four hundred other students. Despite his efforts, he is having a considerable amount of trouble in the course. He attends review sessions before all the tests and does his homework frequently. Nevertheless, he keeps getting poor results. Thomas has a test coming up in Statistics and has been debating what to do. The lecture hall the class is in provides the ideal setting for cheating. With its steep seating alignment, the answers on the test in front of him would be very attainable. Thomas also knew from former tests, that the professor did not give out different test forms. Thomas believes that his chances of getting caught cheating are slim to none. All the same, two weeks remain until the test and review sessions as well as study groups are available to everyone in the class. Should Thomas try his best on the test, taking advantage of the extra help that is available, or continue to ponder cheating?
