Do you really think so? As a gauge of student proficiency it
seems a pretty ineffectual question. I think a teacher would pose
a problem requiring the student to demonstrate understanding, not
just parrot a few keywords.
Even if it was homework, though, I don't think any harm's
been done. If the student just submits my response as it stands
it'll be obvious that the words and work weren't his. And if he
takes the time to read my text, understand it, and paraphrase it --
well, then he'll have learned the difference between "extends" and
"implements" and will be showing his knowledge, and wasn't that
the goal anyhow?
