Sounds like a lack of awareness of said shazam for the teacher assigning the extra credit.

I thought this was going to be about relationships.

It ain't cheating if the instructor didn't put restrictions in place.

Is this a real school? Unless it's for music studies of some kind, that is a garbage extra credit question.

Unless the assignment says that you have to do it from memory then my answer would be 'no, its not cheating'. Originally Posted by gaymer77

Did the instructor specifically forbid you from looking up the info? Like, are you supposed to do them from memory? Cause if not, then I don't see why google or shazam or hell, just going to a music store and picking up random cd's wouldn't count..... Originally Posted by gaymer77

Aren't you the killjoy. It was a FUN assignment for extra credit. Its a whole 10 points toward our overall grade which has a total of 610 points possible in the class. BTW extra credit doesn't have to be assignments based on information taught/in relation to stuff for the class. It could literally be "wipe the blackboards and I'll give you 10 points" or "go to this school play and I'll give you 10 points". Sheash! Originally Posted by Stelio Kontos

When you use the forum as your personal blog, you're going to incur a degree of hostility. Originally Posted by gaymer77

Based in the information given, I'm going to say it isn't cheating as long as you listen to all of the songs afterward.

It depends on whether the question is designed to test your existing personal knowledge of music or your ability to research music. In the first case it is cheating, in the second it is perfectly permissible.

Is there any reason for you to believe that using Shazam was prohibited for this assignment? Originally Posted by gaymer77

Who cares if you cheat in a course that seems to have no value and worthwhile grading standard? Swipe him a 10er as well, maybe you get another 10 fun points.
