This is unfair to those students who work hard on their own to complete the project. When it comes to results, sometimes students buying projects can achieve better marks than the one who has done it on his own. It further demoralizes the students who work hard.
Knowledge sharing can not be condemned and certainly it depends on the student how he/she uses the projects available on the net but unfortunately in a corrupt society like ours, we have many students following the easier way and ultimately doing the harm to themselves and their organisation. Imagine, in the real life situation when the same 'copy paste' student is asked to complete a research project, and he has no idea how it is done, what would he do...probably contact the organisation who used to prepare project reports during his Bschool days. |
You raise a good point; however, I believe that it goes beyond the purview of the article (as well as our response), since outsourcing a company project might not essentially be something we need to condemn. Sooner or later, you're going to be found out at work, so such things won't take you too far.
Besides, I also feel that the student loses out on a lot of 'corporate networking' when he gets someone else to do the work for him, so it's a sort of a double-whammy.
P.S. It's not just our society; human beings are born corrupt. Intelligence begins at trying to find the easiest way out of any situation....it's just society that conditions us to discourage it. Ah well, that's a topic for a different thread altogether though
