Moving into other field (UMW) using instead of COMPS in some Graduate programs

These chapters of education text are frequently depressing for me. Not because of content related to assessment and methods, but rather because they inevitably turn to academic dishonesty. The issues of cheating and plagiarism and paper mills fall into my question of Why?

I was a poor student when I attended college in the early 80's too many distractions and freedom for a young man … resulting in joining the military and waiting until 1996 before I finally graduated. What I can say with all honesty is that I earned those poor marks. I was not the end of the world. When I returned to college a decade later I had the discipline of a good student and competed for the requirements and earned those marks well. When I worked on the railroad from 2005-2009 conductors and engineers were caught cheating on certain mandatory rules test and signals test. My life depended on these people being competent at their job. So when I read about the organized cheating it depresses me as a trainer and as a learner. It takes time to learn, either you want to learn or move on.
