Is this considered cheating on a quiz?
Okay, my sister is currently in her first year in College and yesterday her class had a quiz. My sister ended up being one of the few who finished early, answering all she could and leaving the ones she couldn't, blank. Now then, since she was done early, she decided to look around the room to see who else had finished early like she did. Her eyes ended up glancing one too many times onto a colorful binder that her seat neighbor owned and from the teacher's view, it looked like she was looking at her seat neighbor's unfinished test.
My sister was then accused of cheating on her quiz by the teacher even though after she first finished her quiz, she never went back to write any new answers after looking around the room.
Is this considered cheating? My sister most likely failed that quiz because of that accusation.

No this isn't teaching, if it's the truth. To absolve herself from any future problems, I suggest that she doesn't look around the class when she's finished. If the teacher sees her looking about he/she is going to naturally assume she is looking at other people's answers! So, don't let him think it in the first instance!

Yes, looking around at other people's work is cheating, no matter whether or not the cheater subsequently writes something on her paper, and if all she got was a zero on the quiz, she was lucky. A zero on whatever it was that you cheated on is not a sufficient penalty for cheating, because it doesn't dissuade other cheaters.
This isn't hard. I don't know how your sister got all the way to college without learning it, but I hope she learns it now and doesn't do the same kind of thing again.

She should have handed in her paper or at least turned it over. Whether or not she cheated is a matter of :he said/she said and the teacher will win. She should be more careful next time.
