Yeah, grading 600 essays/short answers may take a while, but thats why you are given tenure and benefits. Plus, they have these people called TAs.- The professor was shocked that students cheat. Pretty naive.- The professor used a company provided exam, and in a capstone class no less. If you don't want to do essays and short answers because you have 600 students, at least write your own multiple choice exam.- Test centers with Vegas style security. That's just disturbing. What does that say about their faith and trust in their students? Worse, what does it say that it didn't workl?- One-third the students cheat, and if they confess, they face no real penalty. Not cool at all. Message sent: "Its okay to cheat, as long as its done in mass and you confess when you are caught." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
