4.33 - The One with the flashlight

check out this story that was in the Toronto Star last week...a Ryerson student is facing expulsion because he created and participated in a study group on Facebook. They are saying that he was cheating. I'm not sure about you and your study habits, but when I was in school everybody helped everybody. Using Facebook is just a new way to study together...

one more thing...I saw this on Attack of the Show last night...

that's really cool...but completely unnecessary

It's so true Lesley!
As for FaceBook - if it is an assignment that is to be done independently then a regular study group wouldn't be allowed either. But does that mean they will start patroling the libraries?!? It's a tough line to draw.

Poor Facebook...I mean, just today I heard about another issue that Facebook is getting in trouble about....something do to with groups created that promote not-eating or something like that. I guess some sort of real guidelines need to be established for the online world now...

As for the fold up gun...I'm somewhat fascinated. But really, are you going to keep a gun in your back pocket? And what kind of a recoil does that thing have? Are you going to dislocate your shoulder?
