1000 people took this class last semester; 187 were labeled as cheaters. Obviously, they aren't looking for originality. If they were simply comparing code and looking to see whose stuff looks a lot like another's, then probably 5 times as many students' names would have showed up. Please, think before speaking.
Were you planning on cheating your way through college? Then you shouldn't go to Tech. Go to a school where there are no individual students recieving individual grades; go to one in which everyone graduates with the same bullshit degree and GPA! Why do you think employers love Georgia Tech alumni? Because they know INDIVIDUALLY how to do everything they've been taught. CS 1321 is not a group class. It is teaching YOU introductory CS. Later on, there is a CS class whose whole purpose is to teach you to engineer software with others. But not 1321.
