Is this new technology making cheating more widespread? A senior official at Berkeley doubts it. "Students who are inclined to cheat are going to cheat regardless of the technology. I think it's sort of a cynical notion to think that this new tool is going to spread the incidence of cheating," Gary Handman said. This view was backed by Berkeley graduate student Arianne Chernock, who says that, after all, students have to decide what's best for themselves. "It's a question of honesty. We're here to learn, so we've got to make the most of it ourselves." And inventive teachers can make their assignments almost cheat-proof.
