200 Students Admit Cheating After Professor's Online Rant 693

Over 200 University of Central Florida students admitted to cheating on a midterm exam after their professor figured out at least a third of his class had cheated. In a lecture posted on YouTube, Professor Richard Quinn told the students that he had done a statistical analysis of the grades and was using other methods to identify the cheats, but instead of turning the list over to the university authorities he offered the following deal: "I don't want to have to explain to your parents why you didn't graduate, so I went to the Dean and I made a deal. The deal is you can either wait it out and hope that we don't identify you, or you can identify yourself to your lab instructor and you can complete the rest of the course and the grade you get in the course is the grade you earned in the course."

Amen to that. I decided to learn Latin this spring. I got a book (actually I had it lying around from the last time I decided to learn Latin :^), and I Just Did It. It took the exertion of quite a bit of willpower on days I decided to just skip that day's goal, but I did make it to the end in about 4 months, not much longer than a semester...
