Re: The Net and Bad Scholarship: Your help needed!

I sure hope the researchers didn't equate a better grade with better
learning. When it comes to reports, many teachers will grade by
appearance and pictures rather than substance. It's always a
shock to some students when they have a teacher or librarian  who
gives grades for actual work, not appearances.
