If it's an assignment many people will copy this has always happened and will always be true for probably every human being anywhere.
That's why exams exist. Make them hard. People who do the homework will succeed. Others won't.
We're too afraid of making people fail.
- TheSpiceIsLife 8y agoAnd yet exams can be (are?) a poor way to test knowledge. I’m ideologically against exams. For many they are stressful, and they don’t represent any real life scenario as you will always have access to reference material on the job.

I don't want people who can't handle stress being doctors or engineers. Out in the field they will have to make decisions that will not just be "look it up in the reference manual." And it's not like you can't have reference materials on exams. All of my engineering exams were open reference. It didn't matter.
