pretty pathetic that UCFs has 4000 level classes with 600 students.  doubly pathetic that they use a 200 q test.  my senior classes were all hard as **** and every one of them included a big group project

There are so many things wrong with this whole thing.

- A 4000 level, capstone class with 600 students.

- A capstone class using multiple choice exams. 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."

    Last I checked the scoreboard doesn't have a spot for current bank balance on it.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
