Hi Gabbers.

I get a number of messages from new members who request my permission to ask members for answers to specific course questions that are part of the curriculum they are currently completing.

I have always believed this is a form of cheating and so have tried to monitor this-without much success. (I`m assuming the student would just go elsewhere on the Internet anyway.)

There may be new methods of learning that allow the student to get help with course questions. The answers from others would then be acceptable in their attempt to complete a medical transcription program.

If the majority of poll results are for "Yes" then I will start a new area for posting and replying regarding course exam questions.

Please post your comments in the New MTs Forum forum.

P.S. We have no way of knowing which members have voted.

No. Not only is it cheating, but it means the person taking the examination will actually be less prepared for work situations. Transcriptionists need to learn to rely on themselves!
