Monday Morning Question: Dictator for a Moment!
Let's see if we can beat last week's question, which received 1 comment (thanks Rebecca). What is one policy at Berkeley that you would either add or change if you were put in charge for a moment?

My answer: I would mandate that 1/3 of teachers who assign essays in their classes be randomly selected to submit all student writings to www.turnitin.com or some other service designed to catch plagiarism or cheating. During a discussion with a friend of mine yesterday, he mentioned that if people got away with cheating they should get the A in a class, but he only supported that if there was a legitimate effort to catch cheaters, which currently there is not.

Obviously, there are a lot of other things I'd be up for changing around here (wait for my ASUC campaign for more), I'm just throwing out my displeasure with the sometimes rampant cheating that occurs around here.Email This Post!
