You still haven't read the article, have you? It's about how the colleges do *not* tolerate code plagiarism, have software and other procedures to identify it, and penalize it. And my meditation is about the role that Monks here play in that process, not about grading on the curve, nor about giving away knowledge, nor about whether being a team player is more or less important than coding skills, nor about any other topic.

In fact, unless you come out of MIT or Cal Tech, most college grads are unqualified for any job.

As for that statement ... good example of how meaningfulness and hyperbole are in inverse proportion!


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
