"The student currently in charge of the honor code project said it was an oversight, but cheating experts say it illustrates a sloppiness among Internet-era students who don't know how to cite sources properly and think of their computers as cut-and-paste machines." I have two things to say about this paragraph: 1) "Cheating experts say"... Cheating experts? Really?? Is this kind of phrasing any better than "They say that..." or "Everyone knows that..."? 2) If "cheating experts" see things one way, while "Internet-era students" see things another way, which point of view is more likely to survive in the long term?
