Re: take home exam situation
[ QUOTE ]
I'm not going to rush on something just because some self-important academic [censored] says I should. If I have 24 hours to get the thing turned back in, I'm going to do it at my own pace . . . [/ QUOTE ] The only reason you have to turn it in at all is because some self-important academic [censored] told you so. Why bother handing it in at all? I enjoy how self-righteous you seem to be about this. It's the man that's rushing you and preventing you from learning; when, of course, if it really mattered that much to you, you could hand the exam in for credit and then keep working on it on your own.

[/ QUOTE ] The difference is that time limit is stupid, arbitrary, and unenforceable. If you were working, do you think one of your bosses would give you some task to do and say, "Have this on my desk by 3:00 tomorrow, but don't spend anymore than 2 hours working on it"? And no, the reason I have to turn it in at all is not because some professor said so. The reason I have to turn it in is that there are widely-accepted standards of what should be required to get a particular degree. If a professor decided to have no tests or papers or projects or anything else, and just have his lectures and give everybody an 84 at the end of the semester, my guess is that he'd catch a lot of [censored] over it in most fields of study.

The Man's trying to keep you down, so [censored] The Man. The Man also tells you to wear your seatbelt and drive on the right-hand side of the road. Fight the power. Show him who's boss.

Re: take home exam situation
Cheating is the lowest of the low.
The Doc EDIT: Especially if you are in graduate school. You chose to go to graduate school because you obviously want to learn more about whatever it is you are studying. Doesn't academic integrity mean anything to you?

Re: take home exam situation
[ QUOTE ]
Any instructor who gives a take-home exam with a honor code time limit is an idiot. [/ QUOTE ] We have take home reviews (tests) with an honor code time limit here (Davidson College) and I'd say >90% follow the time limit. We also have self-scheduled exams with no proctor and I'd say <1% cheat.
