Harvard Cheating Scandal


http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/12/education/harvard-cheating-suspects-go-on-leave.html

So, this story has been on ESPN a little bit this morning, mainly because two of the people involved are on the men's basketball team, one of them is standout senior Kyle Casey. Allegedly, over 100 people in the course were suspected of cheating on a take home final...ummm am I missing something here?

It's a take home final. Whoever doesn't cheat on a take home final in college is a scary, scary person . The type of person who doesn't cheat on a take home final is the type of person that will lure you into their apartment and chop you up and hide your body parts in the fridge. Wanna know how to make people not cheat on a take home final? Don't give take home finals! If I'm Harvard I'm firing this Professor for being a lazy idiot. I think it's absolute bullshit that anyone gets punished for this...and if Harvard wasn't so goddamn pretentious they'd realize that every single normal human being on the planet has cheated on a test, and will cheat on a test if given the opportunity. And to give a take home final to a class with close to 300 people is just asinine...you're basically saying here ya go, take an easy A...I'm to lazy to give a shit, this is Intro to Congress and I'm falling way short of my professional aspirations. But then this dude has the nerve to actually care when people collaborate on a take home final and he tries to get all of them in trouble. I'm guessing the administration absolutely hates this professors guts because this story makes Harvard students seem more like normal people than the school would like. Don't be suprised if this teacher winds up "missing" and this case is dismissed. Harvard Admin--this country's first real mafia.
