When it comes to cheating in exams, there are some standard ways applied by students besides looking at another student’s copy and passing answer sheets. Some of them are:
1. Micro-xerox.
2. Carrying chits and smartphones.
3. Writing on various parts of the body.
4. Hiding notebooks inside the toilet.
However, one law student took cheating to the next level. They literally carved the notes on a number of pens.
From afar, it looks like a design. But when you look closely, you’ll see the notes.
The pictures were shared on Twitter by Yolanda De Lucchi, a Professor of Procedural Law at the University of Malaga, Spain. She revealed that these pens were confiscated by her from a student. The notes carved on the pen were on Criminal Procedural Law. She further calls it “art”.
Haciendo orden en mi despacho he encontrado esta reliquia universitaria que confiscamos a un alumno hace unos años: el derecho procesal penal en bolis bic. Que arte! #laschuletasnosoncomoantes pic.twitter.com/3J4LMn0RQF

While several people online were impressed by this, they couldn’t help but suggest that the student could have studied instead of wasting time writing on all these pens.
You can study better than doing this! What's the effort!🤣👏🏻 https://t.co/pV68vUv1MT

These pens were confiscated because they had notes or answers to exams.
Brilliant! Outside the box thinking! https://t.co/pASkn1YF2b
