Is it your belief that if we fail to punish academic cheating, people will learn to not cheat in other aspects of life?
- eecsninja 9y agoIt is my belief that we should have checks and balances against that in other aspects of life where they matter. Where people's money or lives are on the line. Academia is not one of those situations.
- balls187 9y agoOkay, thanks for the clarification. I disagree with your opinion that Academia doesn't matter. Ignoring Allen Iverson; not taking practice seriously will have consequences during an actual game. At the very least, Academia is practice for adulthood.
