So Is This Cheating?

The best quote from this one...

"I don't think we want to replace humans,'' Brent said. "But we want to do the fun stuff, the challenging stuff. And the computer can do the tedious but necessary stuff.''

Brent is a college sociology professor who designed computer software that grades his student's papers for him.

Newsflash to Brent - that "tedious but necessary stuff" is your job. Apparently, reading the work of your students is neither fun nor challenging. I guess that whole "joy of teaching" thing is out the window. The University of Missouri must be proud. Perhaps they should start paying Brent's salary to the computer.
