In defense of cheating?
May 6th, 2005Via CITInfobits.
In his article,"In Defense of Cheating" (UBIQUITY, vol. 6, issue 11, April 5-12, 2005), Donald A. Norman responds to Evan Golub's recent article on student cheating and counteractive measures. Norman says that Golub asked the wrong questions in his essay: "How do students cheat? How can we weed out cheating?" Norman believes the pertinent questions should be: "What is the purpose of an examination? Why do students cheat?" He argues that we should rethink the entire purpose of the examination system. We should encourage students to ask others for help and then credit them for their help.
