...social lives and our academic success don’t have to be mutually exclusive, but we have chosen to make it so. Eventually, we’re going to have to realize that it’s okay to postpone finishing that CS 50 problem set in favor of actually going on a date with our boy/girlfriends. That it’s actually normal to not stay in and study on a Saturday night. And how do you know that a date with Saturday’s hook-up will be awkward? You won’t until...
...Lewis '68. "There is nothing special about computer science students," he said in an e-mailed statement. "It's just easy to copy computer code, and the incidence of any apparently profitable bad behavior increases as it becomes easier." However, Lewis noted that "in the 100-level CS course I teach every fall, cheating is very rare...
Lewis went on to say that "[t]he reason so many plagiarism cases are detected in CS at Stanford is simply that it's the field in which automatic cross-checking is a well-developed technology—though not, apparently, so well-developed that students believe professors who say that automatic checking...
Lewis' sentiments were shared by computer science concentrator and CS 51 TF Evan R. Czaplicki '12 who explained that "every coder has a specific style. it would be suspicious if two students turned in exactly the same code for a given assignment." He added that the probability that a cheating programmer would be caught in a course such as CS51 is high, as problem sets are generally graded...
...whether or not cheating exists in the Harvard CS department, Czaplicki said he belives it is unlikely. "The majority of people taking computer science courses at Harvard are concentrating or earning a secondary field in the department," he said. "Among people who have a genuine passion for coding, the costs of cheating far outweigh its benefits...
