when this happens. If many students graduate from a program and have no clue about the subject matter, it begins to devalue the degree for the hard working students. I can recall many times students attempting to cheat in my Software Engineering undergraduate program at U of M - Dearborn. Some of the professors actually devised some pretty interesting ways of catching students who were cheating.
I'll never forget one instance though. It was the final class of my Software Engineering II class and we had to present our final projects. One of the students was nervously typing away to finish making his presentation when he asked me what a labyrinth was to which I replied a maze. It was very obvious at that point that the student had ripped his project offline some how. The humorous part was when he began to describe his technology during the presentation where it was apparent he did not know the difference between Java and JavaScript. He talked about needing the JVM to run the JavaScript that it was written in. The teacher began to prod at him more about this since the student obviously did not know what he was talking about. The student began to get really nervous and also couldn't explain the inner workings of the software either. I don't know what happened with that, but I do know that I felt relieved that someone actually got caught cheating and embarrassed for it.
Wow, has "evil" lost all meaning? Wow, has the dictionary lost all meaning? Maybe you should stop trying to think of what a word means and look it up. I think the individual was referring to it being harmful.

I have an idea. Why don't we use Social Security Numbers to tell how old everyone is. That is the safest method... right? Why don't we start by having all of the lawmakers from this state start by giving us their SSNs so that we can test and verify them? Anyone else up for this?? lol What these lawmakers don't understand is that it is virtually impossible to verify the age of someone. Sometimes what looks good on paper doesn't acually work out. Here's another idea. Why don't we become a socialistic society... that looks good on paper and doesn't work too!!
