Defensible Cheating & A Place to Bury Strangers link for 2008-10-01

Azalea at home, Falmouth, VA

  • I was disturbed by Golub’s article because the emphasis was on cheating by students and possible counteractive measures. Never did he ask the more fundamental questions: What is the purpose of an examination; Why do students cheat? Instead, he proposed that faculty become police enforcers, trying to weed out dishonest behavior. I would prefer to turn faculty into educators and mentors, guiding students to use all the resources at their disposal to solve important problems.
    A Place to Bury Strangers
  • There are two things you should know about A Place to Bury Strangers: they are very loud and very good. They’re not loud like most rock bands are loud; they’re loud like a band that has its own line of custom effects pedals and once destroyed a rare record press just by running a tape of its recording through it is loud.
