Rogers ) writes: ... A lot of stuff about student dishonesty, homework, expected apologies, etc. The requests by this Dodd person have been so vague they're funny. Given the odd message routing through Berkeley, I prefer to think of them as hoaxes or jokes. As to the more general issue that Professor Rogers addresses (that of people doing their homework based on submissions from the net), I suggest that it's no more dishonest than those who consult a book to solve their graphics homework. Both may be dishonest practices, but they're equally so. Curiously, I haven't heard Professor Rogers or anyone else warning about the potential abuses of graphics textbooks. -- Eugene Fiume, Dynamic Graphics Project Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto elf@dgp.toronto.edu, (416) 978-5472
