Should I tell the truth?

[Almac]

Oh my goodness I've never come across that before, a lecturer showing someone how to cheat, why would he do that? You can still read the books he suggested but also other related books so your answers will come from you and not just what he suggested, be creative in your exam, show that you've read widely. Ten people can read the same books but come to different conclusions. And for goodness sake don't complain, if you do, you will find that is one way of ending your academic career for sure, colleagues of your lecturer will not appreciate your honesty. Academia can be a very private club. So use the books he's suggested but other books also, so you've not cheated at all. Your honesty is refreshing.
