... who told all these lazy IT students that they don't need to do any work. Just wait till their assignment is due and post it in Q&A. It seems to be getting worse rather than better. You would think that all the ones who get told off would pass it on to their friends.

IT students have friends? That don't require a credit card number? Who knew?

I taught Computer Science for 2 years. I used to troll CP, SO, and other sites looking for my homework assignments.

Ok, I'll bite - what does that explain?

We do not set your homework: it is yours for a reason. It is there so that you think about what you are going to tell them, and try to understand it. It is also there so that you can identify areas where you are weak, and focus more attention on remedial action before the students notice you know less than them.
Try it yourself, or hear the Magic Words: "Now much were my tuition fees, again, exactly?"

You misunderstand what I meant.
I trolled CP, SO, etc, looking for students posting my homework assignments looking for someone to do them

What was the outcome for those found out?

They got an F, what else. Posting my assignments here is cheating. Plain and simple.

I bet you heard this many a time at school;
"Griff, you should really be paying more attention instead of staring out the window all day!"
|
|

Nope. They probably said it a lot, but I wasn't paying attention.
Except in RI. Didn't have a choice there...the RI Master would hurl his bible at you - not to hit, but to land on your desk from the other side of the room. Since this was one of the "family size" religion packs (about a foot and a half square and several inches thick) it arrived with a noise like the clap of doom.

Me too - I used to keep an eye on both sites. Though I used to encourage them to seek help online too as I consider it an important skill. Depressingly not one student had the nouse to ask a question here or on SO AFAICT.

|

Part of my first lesson was about resources. Where to go to get help. CP, SO, and other sites were on the slide.
But it's common sense that you cannot post an entire assignment into a QA forum.

Pretty much ditto.
The really depressing thing was in two years only three students actually turned coursework in. I can actually reply to the OP's question because I've seen Western and non-western education in action.

It's utterly depressing.
