Furthermore, itcan be said that the current partial credit grading model rewards students for pretending that theyknow how to solve a problem, even when they don’t. This means our grading model ispromoting behavior that is explicitly unethical for professional engineers, according to theNational Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) Code of Ethics for Engineers [7] (paragraphsII.5.a and III.1.a).A second practice affecting learning is the copying of homework solutions from onlineresources.
