  • "The feeling about homework is that it's really just busywork,"

      The real core of the problem
  • professors didn't put much effort into teaching, so students don't put real effort into learning
  • "The current system places too great a burden on individual faculty who would, under the circumstances, appear to have perverse incentives: Pursuing these matters lowers course evaluations, takes their severely limited time away from research for promotion, and unfortunately personalizes the issue when it is not personal at all, but a violation against the university."

  • In the humanities, professors have found technological tools to check for blatant copying on essays, and have caught so many culprits that the practice of running papers through plagiarism-detection services has become routine at many colleges. But that software is not suited to science-class assignments.

      At Dickinson we do workshop physics - I bet cheating is reduced.
  • The parents paid tuition in cash
  • The idea that students should be working in a shell is so interesting. It never even occurred to me as a student that I shouldn't work with someone else on my homework. How else do you figure it out? I guess that is peer-to-peer teaching. Copying someone else's work and presenting it as your own is clearly wrong (and, as demonstrated above, doesn't do the student any good), but learning from the resources at hand ought to be encouraged. Afterall, struggling through homework problems in intro physics is how you learn in the first place.

  • Kevin Wade, that plaintiff's father, said he thinks schools should focus on teaching students cheating is wrong."You can't take a person's work and run it through a computer and make an honest person out of them,"
  • it seems like Turnitin is a commercial use. They turn around and sell this service, and it's expensive. And the service only works because they get these papers
