    Default Cheating at North Carolina

    Does NDSU offer paper classes" as UNC does/did?

    I doubt it? But as I listened to an ESPN discussion on this cheating scandal, the general thinking was that virtually every school offers classes like these!

    Paper classes are the kind where the "student" doesnt ever show up for class, but if they do one "paper", they not only pass, but they get a grade of A or B+.

    Not only did student-athletes at UNC take advantage of this class(s), but apparently over 1500 students did also?

    What! Students don't actually go to a class? They don't really even need to go on campus! What kind of lame institution would do this?!

    Actually, read this today. The students are the losers.
    I like to surround myself with people who share in my inappropriate comments, sarcasm, and random shenanigans

    Lots of schools ... http://www.ndsu.edu/dce/degrees


    U of North Carolina found to have "fake classes": The NCAA has to be pissed ... so much that I expect sanctions announced on Appalachian State soon.

    Yo, Buthockey, I'd keep clear of mentioning Canadians or "teh hockies" around these parts. These folks are xeno-thehockies-phobic.

    Glad UNC got caught hope something is done to make sure less academic fraud happens.

    Student athletes who cheat or try to skate by without really learning anything are the ones that get hurt. What will they do once college football is over? Luckily I know a large majority of student athletes that are very competent students and will be great workers in the future. They aren't just at school play a sport or party.

    This just isnt a cheating scandal. It was sanctioned by the school. WOW
    If we concentrated on the really important stuff in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles"

    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.
