I hope they nail the cheaters (if they did cheat) and suspend them. I'm sick of students tolerating cheating. I've seen it on this site over and over again: someone will cheat, and other posters will jump in to defend the cheater.
This, from the article linked above, surprised me:
Quote:
Instead, administrators will consider preventive measures, including the possibility of instituting an academic honor code -- an idea that has recently piqued interest at Harvard despite the college’s history of resisting such a move.
Honor codes prevent cheating? Any evidence for that?
Probably reduces frequency... I think there's something about signing a statement that says that you did not cheat that isn't there when it's just assumed you won't cheat.
That's what I call my Blackberry. I don't know if that's technically correct but it's easier to type..
