Sounds like they've got bright futures ahead of 'em: Harvard Investigates "Unprecedented" Academic Dishonesty Case:
Harvard College’s disciplinary board is investigating nearly half of the 279 students who enrolled in Government 1310: "Introduction to Congress" last spring for allegedly plagiarizing answers or inappropriately collaborating on the class’ final take-home exam.
Sounds like they... uh... learned the subject matter a little too well?

This too. I didn't think take-home exams were even permissible at that level of play.

"....inappropriately collaborating on the class’ final take-home exam."
Duh. I thought Harvard had smart people. Of COURSE they collaborated and plagarized. I'd penalize a student for not doing it in a class and test like that.

Yup, that was my immediate reaction when I saw that story today: "Seems to me like they were just getting in the spirit of the class."
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
