Ethical caution

[Lindagerr]

I do not beleive Gary in his original post meant to point any fingers. He may be finished with his exams, but I am only half done with mine.

I have been a member of this board for over a year and I agree with what Gary was trying to say. THe Exam specific Feedback was getting too specific. It could easily have been well intentioned posters(I may have been among them) that just wanted to add something, But with all the great information already there we dug to deep and divulged too much.

I think Gary's post was just a wake up call. Think before you write! I need to feel I did not go over the line in revealing test questions or specific answers. If I did unintentionally do this, then it is the Moderators job to make a decision about not censoring it, but removing it with cause, to protect the reputation and integrity of this board.

DSST, CLEP. TESC, ECE officials know we are here we do not hide. I would not want the board to become a banned or unreliable product.

I also don't want to see specific answers and questions posted, not just because I feel it is cheating, but because then I might limit my study to that answer. What happens then If I get a different test version without that question. I waste my time looking for that one and maybe mess up other ones. As in the orogonal posting I would rather be told " Know the generals involved in all the major battles" Then KNow So & SO was the General at Such & such battle.

This has been a very active heated thread, it was never meant to stir up so much emotion I just think a little self reflection is called for. I want my son to start taking CLEP and join this board. I want him to Graduate somewhere down the line with a degree that may not be conventional , but that is not reguarded as of lower quality because the integrity of the exams has been lowered.

Being one of the older members of this board according to the age pole in the oldest 3% maybe my values are old fashioned, but personal integrity is something that should never go out of fashion. Make sure you are maintaining your integrity before you post.
