**** The NBA Poll - www.etni.org - Have you voted yet? ****

Plus, there is something I would like to ask. Perhaps this question has already 
been addressed and I missed it, or perhaps it is in the NBA guidelines, which I 
don't have.
I realize the oral exam has changed considerably and I don't know what it is 
made up of today, but from what I can gather from ETNI postings, the written 
project is a part of it, and there are students who "cheat." "Cheat" in 
quotation marks, because they didn't do the project themselves, but have come 
to speak about it. At an oral exam. My question is, what is being tested? If it 
is the student's ability to speak, then does it matter whether or not he 
cheated? If the student is absolutely fluent, speaking, not reciting something 
he has memorized, but speaking intelligently about someone else's project, and 
the tester knows the work is not original, what kind of mark should the kid 
get? If the tester gives him a low mark because he cheated, then it is not his 
oral work that is being tested, so how can it be called an oral test? If the 
teacher gives him a high mark, then he is being rewarded for cheating. I am 
sure there is an official answer, so could someone please let me know what it 
is.
