    Explanation
    Cheating is inappropriate because it undermines the purpose of assessment, which is to accurately evaluate a student's learning progress. When a student cheats, they are not demonstrating their own knowledge and understanding of the material. This can lead to misleading results and a false representation of their abilities. Cheating also goes against the principles of fairness and honesty, which are important values in academic settings. By cheating, students are not only deceiving themselves, but also devaluing the achievements of others who have put in the effort to learn and succeed honestly.
