Cut’n'Pasted

without comments

One teacher from Leeds said: I had one piece of work so blatantly cut and pasted that it still contained adverts from the web page.

Note to students: If you’re going to cheat, could you please try to be a little creative in your attempts.

And this statement also applies at university level:

In the long term, pupils are the real losers because they lack the skills they appear to have.

Think about it.

The Times 2008-01-18: Call to ban A-level coursework as students just cut and paste.

I knew that the stock markets are in trouble but that it is so bad that the bank won’t even tell me how much value my stocks and savings have lost… now that‘s a cause for concern.
