I only wish students would listen. How can we make a stronger stand on this for new college students? I recently did a blog on LivePerson.com as I was upset at how professionals are enabling students and basically allowing them to cheat, saying it is okay by DOING their work for them.
What to do? More panels across more schools - on a continuous basis - is definitely needed.
