Comments on: Why “computer time” and “cheating” are good for students http://www.ikiw.org/2007/05/07/why-computer-time-and-cheating-are-good-for-students/ Tue, 16 Mar 2010 22:21:38 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Mick http://www.ikiw.org/2007/05/07/why-computer-time-and-cheating-are-good-for-students/comment-page-1/#comment-136598 Mick Sat, 31 May 2008 07:42:03 +0000 http://www.ikiw.org/2007/05/07/why-computer-time-and-cheating-are-good-for-students/#comment-136598 What a completely asinine post. You may have all sorts of ideas about how education should be done differently, and that's fine. But attempting to redefine the word "cheating" is beyond silly. If an instructor disallows reference material, and a student uses electronic reference material to get a higher score, that's cheating. I don't think that's debatable. You'll have a hard time getting rational people to pay any attention to your musings on education if you play weird semantic games to define cheaters out of existence because you think their method of cheating is creative and useful.
