This is exactly what happens when you value grades more than actual skill.
Such things are also happening at my university, we just have some "secret" places (Dropbox, some FTP) where sometimes Exam Material shows up. Nobody knows who does it and nobody says a thing. And even worse, im pretty sure some lecturers are aware of it and accept it silently.
- ChuckMcM 11y agoI think this is exactly right. People conflate the "grade" with the "understanding". I once asked a high school student if he could "hack" his way into computer and have it print out credentials as a neurosurgeon, a job that pays really well, and he got a job at a hospital and was asked to operate and killed someone, would that be worth it? For what? His parents kept telling him he needed "good grades" and I suggested that what he needed was "good understanding" the grades would take care of themselves.
