There has been a lot of talk about the ethics side of it. But another side that is also disturbing is that they would need to cheat to pass the class. West point is supposed to be an elite institution. Maybe the admissions processes is also compromised?
- CamperBob2 6y agoThe other point that no one seems to be bringing up is that cheating on an introductory calculus test is a nonsensical thing to do. These aren't MBA students, they're engineering students, right? Everything in a technical math curriculum builds on what came before. If you have to start cheating that early, the only rational thing to do is to admit you're not in the right program and drop out gracefully. Academic ethics aside, cheating at this level is just plain bad judgment. No one who has to cheat in Calc I is going to get through Calc II without having to do the same thing, over and over.
