The Eyeopener (which needs your soul to let you sign up and post comments online) pokes fun at the recent PR debacle Ryerson University found itself in.
After charging a student with 147 counts of academic dishonesty, they began expulsion proceedings. The student has since not been expelled, forced to attend a seminar on academic honesty, failed the course and has had a notation made on his transcript, to be cleared upon graduation. All because a silly professor’s misunderstanding of how students mirror the real world when it comes to dealing with problems: they collaborate.
In the wake of the scandal, a new website was created to help students study: www.thestudygroups.com. I’m still baffled that no one thought of using a forum!
Am I the only one that remembers the days before Facebook?
