    3.Studying consists of furiously glancing over your notes the period before the test.

    4.“Not a lot of homework” means: 10 chemistry problems, calc homework (that you won’t do anyways), a 15 page story to read in the Lit book, and studying for a French quiz.

    5.You don’t think of it as “cheating”, you think of it as “cooperative learning.”
