I'm just as confused by that. Most people I know who had some goal to earn a degree in music were already able to play any scale on a substantial number of instruments by the time they graduated from high school. Hell, I was in that camp and I didn't even plan on going to college.
Granted, not everyone goes into a music program knowing every instrument, but scales and arpeggios ain't terribly hard to practice, be it on a keyboard or a woodwind or a brass or whatever.
- idontwantthis 4y agoSeems like you always encounter students willing to work harder to cheat than to learn. My freshman year some students got expelled for keylogging TA passwords and using them to mark assignments passed. The assignments weren’t that hard…
- robga 4y agoA lot of cheating is about time not difficulty. Rather than spend several evenings practising they partied instead, perhaps justifying cheating by deeming the exam topic an irrelevance. One of the takeaways here should be for the exam setters. If cheating was widespread (it sounds like a one off here) then they should consider whether the exam itself was an appropriate task, or whether there was an alternative task that may have been more engaging and ultimately a better test for all.
- aksss 4y ago> weren’t that hard Maybe that’s part of the problem. One of those things is way more intriguing than the other, speaking as someone who wrote fake login screens for my high school’s PS/2 lab. Had like thirty passwords in a couple hours, including one teacher, by running it on the workstation closest to the door.
