I took art classes all through high school, have studied graphic design and photography and have never witnessed students cheating. I think it has to do with the creative aspects of the work. Even if I pick the same content or subject as someone else, I am going to inherintly capture and communicate that subject in a different way. Thus, cancelling out the affect of copying the same subject. In a photography setting, the only way I could see outright cheating taking place is either two students handed in photos from the same negative or took shots of the same subject from the same studio using the same setup. But were is the fun in that? However, with that being said, I have been out of photography school for 7 years now, so things may have changed since then. I have always found that the students that take art classes are usually the ones that want to be there and, therefore, cheating is the last thing on their mind.

If you have some black majic around human inefficiency, please, dont hesitate to comment. an interesting prospective, however, i feel that a more open environment spawns ‘creative’ plagiarism. i am a photograhy teacher for niwot high school, and like you, have run into ‘creativness’ in an open darkroom setting. i do find your hypothesis stunning and promising, if it weren’t for the lack of moral fiber in student diet.
