A good point and exactly what keeps me from applauding the
clever student who used his peers' work...did he learn any of the
material that made up the answers to the quiz, supposing there was
learning involved and not just regurgitation of what had been learned
in the class.
Actually, that is the answer to Finley's question about Mike's
comment...if you only ask students to tell you what they know,
then no creative learning will happen.
