Decidedly dull... ...article in The Guardian about professors who plagiarize. Tony Antoniou starts things off promisingly, but it's downhill from there. Best part is a small bit at the end: 'A humanities student told Education Guardian how he felt "cheated" when he discovered his lecturer had passed off a Wikipedia entry as his own work. Yes. When they find themselves in the classrooms of PowerPoint professors who stand up, look down, and read aloud, or film professors who snore (or leave) while showing film after film, or Wikipedians who print their lectures off the web, students should ask themselves what they're paying for. American students, who pay in the tens of thousands of dollars, should really ask. |
