- nonrandomstring 4y agoThanks for asking. I am an international visiting professor of computer science (specialising in DSP, signals and systems). I'd submit that's given me a fairly wide experience of higher education at least around the north-western hemisphere over three decades. Enough that I write regular and quite popular features for the Times. Any sincere answer is surely the contents of at least one whole book, so my response here would disappoint you. Instead please read my more positive commentary here [1] and here [2].

- andai 4y agoAlso, how would that impact cheating? I don't see the connection.
- nonrandomstring 4y agoCheating is a consequence of unfair values that push otherwise morally upright, hard-working people to transgress. Governance determines the values of a system. Therefore rampant cheating may be seen as symptom of a failure of governance, so improving it would reduce cheating. Hope that helps you to see the connection.
