Ethics in test taking...

[cheewiee]

This isn't to ask about cheating, but about something else...

Lets say that there is a question on an exam..

There will be a rapture of the Church before the great tribulation T/F.

And quite frankly I'm not well versed on Pre/Post trib theories and such, and to be honest other than saying what they belived and posting a few scritputres refering to a thief in the night, and so forth really didn't lay out a strong case for a pretrib rapture.

What should I do... As I said, I havn't really made the topic my own, so I am not convinced either way.

Should I answer the question according to how I know they want me to answer.. or should I simply refrain from answering and get marked incorrect for that particular question...

I seriously think I would put an 'aside' and ask that next time when a question like this is posed could they possibly have a box marked NS for not sure... or NSATSTYL FOR not sure at this stage tell you later!!!!!!!!

I really don't think we will know for sure until it happens....

I went to a non-Christian Teachers' Training College and at times answered questions in a way I knew they wanted them answered, but only if it compromise what I beleived... tricky but achievable, possibly more achievable in a non-Christian environment! :) :) :)

The thing is, I am not really sure... I have grown up a pretribber ALL my life. And I havn't really studied it out enough to say I changed my "Position" on it, other than I know that there are opposing view points out there based in scritpure that I know nothing about...

I think that the aside might be the best option... Answer it the way they want, but explain that honestly I am not convinced either way....

Give them the answer you know they want and put in parenthesis "according to this class". Or just give them the answer they taught and forget about it.

I personally wouldn't make an issue out of it. If I had a good rapport with the professor and my conscience was pricked, I might take him aside after the test and tell him what I think.

I had a biology prof start his classes with, "We will be covering material you might not agree with. Just know it." I liked that.

You know what... Your right... atleast your second answer. The fact is this is first year seminary stuff, basic intro freshman type class. There is abosultly no reason whatsoever to "rock the boat". As I said, I am not convinced either way, so I would best just answer the question as taught... Atleast in this particular case...

Your first answer will possibly "rock the boat". and considering that I am not really convinced either way.. what's the point?

It would be like going round and round on the issue of tounges in the Word Forum.... :p :D

Jason shouldn't correct Jason's spelling... Jason has never corrected Jason's spelling before... so why would Jason correct Jason's spelling?

I suppose Jason will never know....


...thinking that up just gave me a headache....

[Jason]

Well, then, the second part of my first answer was right.

Tounges sounds like you gotta rock in your mouth.:p
