Open Book Exam Courses

[peace123]

I'm saying that men should not be trusted to this level when their own interests are at stake. It's the same reason we have locks on doors. Are locks going to prevent *every* intrusion? Of course not. But they help keep honest people honest. The same goes with precautions and verifications in education. I'm saying that these courses lack such precautions and verifications.

How do locks keep honest people honest ? The way I see it locks are locked to keep dishonest people out of your home ? Locks are locked because of fear, fear someone will take what is yours or fear of being harmed etc.. To me it is just an inconvenience to the honest person to have to lock their doors.

In your replies I see this same fear, in regards to the future worth of your degree.

Personally, I give little thought to such things as I do not want to live my life out of a sense of fear. Nor do I want my life to be dictated by the actions of cheaters or slackers.
