Re: Ethics Schmethics...or...Cutting & Pasting Ethos
Maybe we need to be looking more at why students cheat instead of figuring out how to stop them. When such a large number of students cheat on an ethics essay, it makes me want to know what are the motivations, what societal influences are creating this break from ethics, instead of just saying, "oh, it's because things are easily accessible on the Internet."
