Brent Reeves
Students working hard
Cheaters always loom nearby
Will justice prevail?
Abstract
Given just a few false assumptions, my talk
will go much better. So...
Assumptions
- Undergraduate education will always have
structured, canned homework assignments.
- Human nature will always ensure some
students will cheat.
Surprises
- I've discovered a way to know for certain that assignment A was issued
to student Blee, but copied, altered, and turned in by student Blah.
- I've also
discovered a way to know that student Blah opened student Blee's document
and did a copy-and-paste into their own document.
Results
I will talk about the use of this system over the last two semesters in several
undergraduate sections of Economics.
So... please come challenge these assumptions
and share your thoughts about self-tracking documents (tm). :-)
Bio
Because the mountains of Colorado interfered with the view, Brent Reeves moved
to West Texas, where he teaches Management Information Systems at Abilene Christian
University. He now has unobstructed views of, well, pretty much everything.
