The Department for Education is considering new penalties for students who plagiarise essays, for 50, 000 students had been caught cheating on their university degrees in the three years before. With a generation paying £50, 000 for their degrees, is anybody surprised that a university education now feels like another asset that can simply be bought?
Since tuition fees were introduced in the 1990s, a number of changes have taken place that have made the decision of whether to go to university more about your ability to afford it and less about your desire to learn.
Fees have increased drastically since then, and scholarships have been removed for the poorest students, who will inevitably end up paying more, as it will take them longer to pay off their loans. This sends a very clear message to students: the right grades aren’t enough to get you into university. You need money to pay for it. Buying essays is clearly wrong, but it feels like the logical extension of an education that comes with a high and rising price tag.
For many people, university is about knowledge or self-improvement. The government insists that students will end up earning more if they go to university — and so, for many, a degree feels like a route to a career rather than an opportunity to learn. For students who feel they’re just
buying a rubber stamp
, what’s the point in putting in the effort?
There are many ways to purchase your degree. You read your pre-decided list of writers, normally white male authors who have been on the list for years — often past the time when their novels felt culturally relevant or their theories genuinely held water. In fact, you don’t even have to read these writers — you can just go on to find a summary. Then you make some common criticisms that have probably been made by many others before.
When large amounts of money are necessary to attend university, and degrees are increasingly described simply as a route to a profitable job, it’s not surprising that a pure interest in education is discarded.
I find the sudden dismay about all this cheating a joke. Of course action should be taken — cheating is a serious offence. But we might want to ask how we got into this position in the first place. The £50, 000 cost of a degree, rather than the comparative pennies spent on stolen essays, might be the first place to look. [br] Cheating as mentioned in this passage mainly involves______.
选项

有些学生可能不熟悉plagiarize,其含义是“剽窃”或“抄袭”。即使不熟悉这个词,看看后面的essay(论文)也有点帮助。
