Aha, so the secret summary is that:
Both students and teachers want the students to succeed,
so they cheat together, to make that (seem to) happen
> A few of the tricks they used
Thanks for writing about that, really interesting to read (!)
> cheating was rampant
(You don't happen to know about some websites being used for that? I recently found out about studypool dot com.)
- mike_hearn 4y agoYep, that's exactly it. By cheating I didn't mean getting solutions from websites although there's obviously a lot of that going on if you browse through e.g. Upwork. A staggering number of 'jobs' are obviously student coding assignments being farmed out. The sort of cheating I meant was more stuff like students copy/pasting stuff off Wikipedia (it's all on the written reports remember) or copying answers off each other. Or they'd deliberately submit work they knew didn't function properly, aware of the fact that it wouldn't matter.
