Very basic answer - yes it can.

Hehe, I got lucky in college and had an easy Chemistry professor.  His name was Dr. Q and he gave all answers to his tests in class one week prior to exams.  If you didn't get an A in his class, you just weren't trying.:D

Now Lab was another breed of cat entirely.  I don't know how honorable this was, but I  found a girlfriend who knew what she was doing.  I was very studious, so I guess it was good in a way...to have a girlfriend in college.

I'm kinda ashamed for what I did, using her for that, but she wasn't all that bad looking.  I don't think she minded it.

She helped me pass the lab courses...without her I never could have done it.  I copied her lab reports, though I got a C when she got an A.  Sometimes people help each other out that way.   She knew I needed help with science, seeing how I'm art oriented.  Without her, I probably would have never passed the course.
