That would be awesome, but no, they're studying compsci. Most of what I grade is code. It's quite difficult to hide that you have copied code from elsewhere, in particular when you're not able to understand — let alone explain — how it works.
- bryanrasmussen 6y agoI guess this is another difference between the academic and business worlds then, often I ask people why something is the way it is and they start using some a mixmash of jargon pulled from design patterns, agile manifesto, and business goals of some sort. I don't necessarily think it's because they have copied the code and they don't know how it works, I just think they don't know how to speak straightforward about code or are afraid of looking stupid and as a result I either have to accept stuff is the way it is, write down what they said and go try to decipher it at my leisure, or gird myself for battle.
