The university examination rules are so strict that it really takes me some time to accept all of them. The penalties of violation of some of these rules can even cause suspension or expulsion. These penalties are so severe that they can destroy a person’s prospect thoroughly. It is not easy for every student nowadays because every student aims at his or her goals, engages in his or her studying, and makes great effort in overcoming academic problems and climbing the scientific mountains. Receiving these penalties is no other than cutting off the ropes which students are pulling hard in order to climb up. The result is obvious that the students whose ropes are cut fall down to the deepest bottom of canyons and are never able to return. Even though those less severe punishment won’t make such destruction as the sever ones, they still can bury one’s dreams, end one’s glorious past, and burden one with heavy psychological debt, for every person knows that there must be an “f” that follows the cancellation of the final exam; furthermore, if one is regarded as a person who likes cheating or ever cheated, how can he or she be accepted or tolerated by other students and make friends with others; thus, the one who cheat once by mistake must bear the pressures from both failure of courses and isolation. These pressures can easily knock down almost every person.
As for penalties, I prefer Chinese examination rules that never prescribe that cheating can result in suspension or expulsion. Students cannot be cancelled their exams unless exact evidence is found, such as cheating notes. As a matter of fact, there is no time to cheat in almost every determinative exam, such as college entrance exams. In addition, the students who depend on cheating to get marks are the worst students. Even though they cheat, still their marks are very low; therefore, penalties of cheating in Chinese exams are not so severe as those in Canadian exams.
Anyway, now that university examination rules have been prescribed and can’t be changed, I’d better take care and follow these rules all the time although I think that some of these rules are a little fussy, for I don’t want to be a student who is intolerable to others, and I value my future much despite the fact that there may not any brilliant point in my future. I also hope that you guys never violate examination rules or receive penalties and march towards your goals smoothly.
