Summary: my experiences with cheating


When I was a computer science TA, my experience was that usually  only
the dumb students cheated. Dumb students seemed to have the characteristic
that their friends were dumb too. They would cheat by
borrowing the code of some other dumb guy. This meant that if they weren't
caught, they wouldn't get a very good grade anyhow. Consequently, I didn't
worry too much about cheating, I let divine justice solve the problem.
