At the university level, should you really take students by the hand like that and trick them into learning? You have to learn to learn at some point.
I don't understand your second question. Currently, university assignments are graded to hold students by the hand. I'm saying they shouldn't do that.
The thread was abou that, but your argument wasn't, it suggested an alternative reason for rejecting assignments, so would be true regardless of cheating, thus not related to this thread
But I guess I let through that yes, I don't think we should take students by the hand at all and you're right that's a whole different debate.
