Summary: Bad Philosophy Episode 131 "Cheating Our Way to Mars" Recorded 01-11-13 Bad Philosophers: Stephen Torrence, Kevin Saunders, Matt Legler Recently our favorite behavioral economist, Dan Ariely, made an appearance on Triangulation to talk about his many works on the predictable irrationality of mankind. Conveniently enough, he's also written and done a bit of work on the subject of essay mills and student plagiarism, a topic our good friend and fellow former student Matt Legler got to thinking about it as a result of that interview. On short notice he joined me and Kevin to touch on automated grading, education, reform, and Mars for a whirlwind show. Calling all Gen M-ers! Grab your table-sized tablet, reticulate your charter, and make your voice heard... it's BF time!
