I had to comment on this. I don't want to sound like moral person, but I hate when people cheat. I am not saying that I have never cheated in my life, of course I did - but I learn a valuable lesson that this is not working.
ReplyDeleteI mean sometimes, you need help during an exam, but I believe that student of university should always find other solution than cheating. And I believe that nowadays it is much easier to cheat while using new technology as you mentioned in this article.
The only conclusion I can make about this topic is to banned all technology devices while writing an exam - because a) it is very unfair to other who actually studied b) you are studying for yourself - for knowledge, not for grades...
A little recommendation : professor Medeiros has an amazing database of cheat sheets:).
