Charlotte Allen on college cheating:

An article about the Duke scandal in the current issue of Business Week speculates that getting together with fellow students to produce answers to a take-home exam might be more aptly described as “postmodern learning, wiki style”–a hip academic analogue to the “shared information” and “open source” team projects that bosses in the real-life working world reward. The article quotes Robert I. Sutton, a professor at the Stanford University Design School: “If you found somebody to help you write an exam, in our view that’s a sign of an inventive person who gets stuff done.”
