Topic	Many college students now have to buy external webcams for their classes.

At least I could easily tell how many of the CS students cheated when I was a grad TA. Cull the weak. Yeah, it's a problem with college in general. While I can't relate to the CS/TA stuff, I'm a math grad student and I lurk a lot on Mathematics Stack Exchange. My God the sheer number of people there who just... Ugh. There's so many people there that will just blindly copy-and-paste their homework problem (be it from an assignment or textbook) with little more than a "pls giv solution thx." Hell, a lot of the time they won't even bother to at least write it up in LaTeX, they'll just post a picture or screenshot of it. There are so many people on there just looking for a solution to blindly copy and paste into their homework, and it's infuriating. (Moreso because there's a subset of users there that'll answer the questions anyways, because that means they get rep points on the site, thereby enabling this behavior.) I imagine there's a similar if not worse problem with CS and Stack Overflow. ASithLord7 posted... Lmao yeah just like they pay for textbooks right At least pirating textbooks is easy enough if you know where to look and don't mind reading on a laptop or whatever. ASithLord7 posted... Textbooks are not usually the sole learning material, no, unless the professor is just teaching from the book. Plus, at least in my experience - a good professor can render the textbook altogether unnecessary, if they're good enough and thorough enough at teaching. Sometimes the most I've had a textbook be required for is just to get homework problems from, which the prof just as easily could've written up themselves >.> --- My Social Discord Server, Eevee's Mystery Dungeon: https://discord.gg/emd My PMD Rescue Server: https://discord.gg/E57gMQq <cite>Eevee-Trainer posted [p:942577980] in Many colle...
