Exam incident

Exam incident

NZSI'A Reporter

Christchurch—The loss of two years' work can be the price of cheating in university exams. This is what happened to a student at Canterbury during finals last year. He was suspended for this year by the University.

The Vice-Chancellor (Professor N. C. Phillips) said he was glad it was the only incident of its kind in many years.

Victoria University was not free of exam incidents. Several students refused to put their names beside the code numbers on their scripts, as they felt some of the markers were prejudiced.

"Depending on whether they like you or not they mark you up or down," said one girl. Another said one lecturer was in favour of girls because he felt sorry for them.
