-The [[2013]] '''Major English Texts II cheating scandal''' involved a lot—a lot—of people cheating on a "notoriously easy" [[English]] class at [[Barnard College]]. Basically, two things were happening: (1) people were cheating on weekly reading quizzes with Google and (2) students were paying other students to go easy on those student graded quizzes. And it turned out that, despite occurring in a [[Barnard College]] class most of the cheaters were [[Columbia College]] students.
+The [[2013]] '''Major English Texts II cheating scandal''' involved a lot—a lot—of people cheating in a "notoriously easy" [[English]] class at [[Barnard College]]. Basically, two things were happening: (1) people were using Google to cheat on weekly reading quizzes and (2) students were paying other students to go easy on those quizzes, which were student-graded. And it turned out that, despite occurring in a [[Barnard College]] class most of the cheaters were [[Columbia College]] students.
-Of course, it didn't help that the instructor, Peggy Ellsberg, let students grade each others' quizzes.
+It goes without saying that students shouldn't grade each others' quizzes, [[honor code]] or no.
 As a result of the cheating, Professor Ellsberg threw out all the quiz grades and added a final worth 70% of a student's grade.
