Attention Students....

If you're having trouble in some classes, this might work. I would at least give the students a partial credit for demonstrating how E-commerce works in a wireless environment.

Tokyo (dpa) - Twenty-six students at Japan's prestigious Hitotsubashi University cheated in an exam by sharing answers through Internet-capable cell phones, a university spokesman said on Wednesday.

A professor teaching an Introduction of E-commerce class, became suspicious after many students had exactly same answers in the exam, the university's vice president, Takehiko Sugiyama, said.

Upon questioning, the students admitted that they sent each other e-mails through their cell phones during the exam. The 26 students did not get credits for the class.

*Anyone else hear of anyone doing this at school?

some sites sell fake ingredient labels for popular drinks and snacks. the answers can be written on them. no one searches food.

In my day....

Passing notes, writing on the wrist, mouthing answers to each other, Jeez, I'm glad we're finally out of the stone age! I'd give those students credit for teamwork and cooperative networking, a valuable asset in their culture.

Yup. That's why if your cell goes off, you fail at my school.

There were also a group of indian students who for their engineering final, used stories from here as their answers. (This was in India, not at my school)
