LAZY TEACHER USED A TEST BANK.

[MishuTaste]

@Catfishjones123 It was cheating because they had an advantage over the other students who studied ALL of the information instead of just the information pertaining to the exam.

The old saying goes we use locks to keep honest people honest. This professor had time to perform a statistical analysis of the test results but was unable to simply create a test on his own. I disagree with students cheating however this professor's lack of due dilligence by using a test bank was the equivalent of leaving something unlocked.

Why is every one mad he used a test bank. Most professors that teach large classes use one. Why aren't you mad at them, too?

[spasticos]

He's the one who cheated and flat out lied to cover his own stubborn ass and fat ugly stomach.

If Richard Quinn's lazy teaching behavior wasn't tolerated there would be no scandal. If the questions on Richard Quinn's exam match the ones provided as practice problems from the book then did the students really cheat? Or did the professor use the textbook's test bank to "write" his exam which he claims is part of his job. So isn't he cheating by using other's work as his own? Teachers cheat too...

@mark84j Not only that, but in the lecture the week before, Quinn said "I may write a question even I can't answer", meaning he CLAIMED to have written the exams, hence if they had a test bank, the questions weren't actual exam questions. So if the students were told that the professor originally wrote the questions as opposed to them coming from the test bank they had, it should NOT count against them because they were misinformed.

CheatingCulture, you only have half the story.

[mark84j]

The questions were on a test bank of 700 questions, and the actual exam was created by a computer for each student. Quinn didn't write the questions...

It wasn't cheating because these questions have existed for years, and the student had no idea they were the actual questions to be randomly administered during the exam.

Not cheating. Look into things next time, CheatingCulture. It helps.
