How to cheat good
May 18th, 2006
I just submitted my last set of grades for the semester. This is always a big weight off my shoulders, but since it will be the last set of grades I ever submit at the University at Buffalo, it is an even greater relief. And so I think it's time for me to "give back" as the kids say.
I had a 24 hour take home (distance course, so "keep home"?) final exam. Students had to submit it in textand most submitted it in Word. In the exam, I noted that "I expect everyone to behave honorably," and noted that receiving assistance from others or plagiarizing work was a bad idea.

This is particularly true when the answer is wrong, and when it is wrong in an idiosyncratic way. Many profs, as I do, grade "blind," without reference to the names of the students, but still, it's easy enough when you find something like this to track back to the names. My suggestion, in this case, is to continue to cut and paste the answer, but to legally change your name. A convenience...
