Does anyone have any idea how to prevent this type of cheating?

I think this requires us to rethink how we design examinations.
 
Merry Christmas,

Rhea, 

I've crafted half a dozen smart a*& replies to your post but didn't have the courage to post them.  It struck a nerve.  Harry certainly said it better than I ever could.  Because I'm just a computer guy, who only got B's and C's in English, imagine if you will that I've crafted a long eloquent narrative.  One that completely covers the issues of public good, life long happiness,  being curious and caring, having humility in the face of ignorance,  etc., etc., and you can imagine what I wish I could say about what education should be.  Thanks for posting it.

Subject: Tomorrow's TB Meeting

TBers, 

This is a reminder that our last meeting of the semester is tomorrow at 8 am outside of Starbucks in the Hunt Union. 

Yesterday, at Senate, Todd Foreman announced that next November there could be a call for proposals, closely linked to our strategic or divisional plans, for new ideas.  He showed a slide of the timeline for that process which I've attached.  I'd be interested in talking about any ideas people have with an eye toward the TB group either submitting a proposal or encouraging a proposal from another group.  For example,  we recently talked about the interdisciplinary course ideas and global connectedness.
