Diploma Mills

[originalamyj]

The fumble with the degree mill I don't know, but I think jsh1138 main point was that a lot of people aren't doing those courses in an ethical way, which, I think, is a fair and debatable assumption. Doing 8-10 courses a month with the tabs open may be legal but is it really ethical?

"Having the tabs open" is no different than an open book test. If I had a textbook next to me that I highlighted and tabbed pages so I could find infoagain, it's the same thing. And I've had many other courses besides Shmoop (B&M University) that utilize an open book format. If you don't read the book it's still not really passable. Most open book tests are harder, on purpose, because you have to know your book.
