PPCs and exams.
For those of you who are currently a student, I am curious whether your school/university allows students to bring a PPC into exam room or not. I currently do a pro-bono job teaching journalism/photography in a local university down here, and to my surprise, a student pulls out a PPC (with GPRS card installed) in my exam room, plug a headset into his ear (acting as if he is listening to music) and start browsing PDFs. He apparently scanned the journalism textbook that we currently covered on the exam, put it on a webserver, and browse it online during the exam. Mind you, owning a webserver is still very rare in this country.
(and he thought that I dont understand what a PPC equipped with GPRS card can do). :devilboy: When I caught him, he tried to convince me that the PPC is merely an MP3 player .... So, I pulled out my axim with GPRS card, and show it to him. His face was so blue, he was shocked and ashamed .. and I almost laughed when I saw that face.
I currently have to decide what to do with him. As a technophile to another, I felt that I have the obligation to lighten up a bit on him, since he has shown a creativity factor that is far beyond his peers'. Afterall, creativity is the single most important factor in journalism/photography world. ... Any thoughts ?
