I don’t know if the “moral fabric of our youth” is fraying. Rather, they have access to more data at a greater speed. So while cheating is easier, it’s also that these kids have to consume and digest and tone of information. The best way to get around cheating is to assess them on whether or not they can do a given problem. Eventually you’re going to run up against a white board, and there’s no way you can cheat your way around that. So the answer is more white boards more often.
I have friends who work at Google and they tell me they spend 80% of their job just searching information. Is there cheating in the real world? Technology is like fashion. There are no patents, it’ s just who ever builds it first or best.
I do love that Turing doesn’t grade really, beyond the 1 to 4 scale (that’s nice, a 1 is not so far from a 4 after all). It feels like Turings goal is to turn out white boaders, not A students.
