There has been a lot of mystification about cheating in college, most recently “How College Classes Encourage Cheating” in the Boston Globe: http://www.bostonglobe.com/ideas/2013/08/03/how-college-classes-encourage-cheating/3Q34x5ysYcplWNA3yO2eLK/story.html.
If colleges “market” themselves as providing “certification for careers,”” and if the model for leaning is “knowledge transfer” (i.e. memorization of facts), rather than personal and intellectual growth, isn’t frequent cheating an almost inevitable outcome?
