    New & Improved: Cheating!

    I'm giving a presentation next Tuesday at the biennial Legal Writing Institute conference in Indianapolis on causes and solutions for the new generation of cheating and plagiarism techniques and attitudes (wow, that was a lot of conjunctions in one sentence). So this really caught my eye today.

    My observation is that students who cheat actually believe that it is their "right" to do so. They feel a sense of entitlement, a view that "hey I don't have to do the work." I am unsure if this is a generational issue or perhaps a class issue. If children are "carefully taught" that they are privileged and better than others, perhaps it follows then that these grown-up children in college and grad school do not believe the rules apply to them.
    A somewhat related matter is the prevalence of the use of Adderall during final exams in law school. It was a bit disconcerting to now how many of my fellow students took Adderall this past May. Is that cheating too?

    My name is Amy Rollins and i would like to show you my personal experience with Adderall.

    I have taken for 1 years. I am 20 years old. I have better luck with Adderall 20MG non-extended release than I do with Adderall XR 10MG, which is what I am prescribed. The XR wears off before the day is over, which leaves you with an awful crash to deal with. (Obviously, if you'd like to sleep regularly you shouldn't take another...so crashing off this particular dosage is almost inevitable.) They say you should drink caffeine towards the end of the day to try to ward off the symptoms of coming down off this drug.

    Side Effects :
    loss of appetite,dry mouth,insomnia,bad crash after about 7 hours,fidgety,rapid heartbeat,more productive,if taken for months regularly I start to feel less like myself,lower sex drive.

    I hope this information will be useful to others,
    Amy Rollins
