Students shouldn’t plagiarize, really?

 

Educators say that they teach students to be leaders.

Educators claim that students have to learn to critical and creative thinking to be leaders.

For these, educators ask students not to copy and paste because it is not creative.

They also say that plagiarism is serious issues.

 

Yet, educators use publisher-prepared or other exam banks to prepare exams and quizzes.

 

Instead of creating their own exams and quizzes, they copy and paste from other sources including textbooks.

Since institutes pay for the services and textbooks, it might not be a crime.

 

But it is still copy-paste.

 

Could educators who are not able to create their own exams and quizzes teach students to be leaders?

The chances would be very close to ‘NONE’. Still, they claim that they teach students to be leaders.f you are a student and see an educator uses exams and quizzes that can be found online or other sources, you should request them ‘NOT to copy and paste and be creative

If you are an educator and using exams and quizzes from other sources to evaluate students’ learning, STOP claiming that you are teaching for students’ future.

 

It would be the money that you are teaching for. You just don’t know what you are working for.

This is like ‘the blind leading the blind’.

Learning is possible only if there is someone who can teach you. Learning is possible only if someone has found something new or created new knowledge. ﾠ The people who focus on learning are: ﾠ 1. Moving towards a passive life. 2. You wouldn't know what to do unless you learned what to do by reading a book or being taught. 3. You would be frustrated if you don't have an answer unless someone gives you the answer. ﾠ Because of these, if you enjoy learning new things or knowledge, you might enjoy the learning but you will be mentally enslaved by the people with more knowledge or (and) political or (and) economic power gradually.   ﾠ ============================ Studying is a process of discovering new things or finding answers oneself. When you encounter something that you didn't know (or didn't expect), you can find answers by studying...

Why online classes are not as effective as face to face?

Why online classes are not as effective as face to face? One of the participants asked a question in the teaching professors virtual conference ongoing now. The question was that how to make online teaching effective. From the conference, there is limited info about online teaching. I replied. If teaching is focused on delivering knowledge by understanding, effectiveness would drop significantly for online. This is because learning knowledge by understanding doesn’t require thinking. When thinking is not involved, it is like training a dog. Dogs can understand human signals and words and follow instruction once trained. The problem is that you cannot train dogs online.  I continued. To make either online or face to face teaching effective, thinking function of the human brain has to be tackled. And the thinking process includes data collection, analysis, prediction and decision making. The person replied. How to teach students to learn knowledge and thinkin...
