200 students admit cheating after professor's online rant

I'm sorry but I disagree with your definition of knowledge. What you seem to be describing is any process that accrues knowledge, such as science for example. Knowledge is the end product of applying that process to surroundings such as the natural world.

I do agree however that multiple-choice exams are kind of stupid but I had always thought it was to make the task of correcting 600 papers less daunting for the teacher. I've had to correct nearly 100 non-multiple-choice exams at a university level and it took a long time.

I've not cheated in any exam either, but there's different levels of cheating too. Is copying some of your earlier work cheating too, for instance? I don't think so, if it's relevant.
When an "exam" is just a multiple choice form, it's stupid in any case - it means you have to know the answers, not know how to figure out the answers - this means you basically have to have a fact sheet in your head anyway, that doesn't teach you anything any way.
Knowledge is not knowing things, it's knowing how to figure out things.

He is bluffing the cheaters. Somehow I doubt they stick up for each other much and for everyone that tells the remainder might just be easier to pick off. Also, the price of getting caught seems to far outweigh the price of admitting to cheating and remaking the test like everyone else.

He's bluffing. There's no way they could prove conclusively whether or not any one person was involved without searching their rooms/belongings for the cheat-sheet.

Ah blimey you got me. Bur seriously, I don't get how the original submitter could omit the words rockwell and encabulator in the keywords. It seriously makes no sense. One needs to be a complete detective to find previous videos because _no_one_ absolutely _no_frickin_one_ enters keywords that have to do with the video.

"Innovation, change the world, wtf" were the keywords for this video. Really? And not "Encabulator" ?
Show Mercy!

In reply to this comment by direpickle:
I'm usually pretty eager to disagree with NetRunner, but the dude really does pretty obviously slam his foot down on the woman's head, though it's not a curb-stomp. What are you guys saying actually occurred here? There is a video of a woman with her head on the ground. Another guy places his foot over her. It moves down rapidly. Her body moves with the blow. What are you all seeing?
