If you have to censor academic assistance services (whether it's cheating or not depends on how they are used) you are missing the underlying problem.
Good points, Karl. I reckon the continuous assessment is a double edged sword.
Not sure how this fits in Link, but I'll add this. The bits along the way are as much en route motivators as actual assessment as long as the marks awarded aren't devastating. That is up to the academic/tutor/whoever I guess. My thought is that having engagement throughout the term is to avoid the temptation to try and swat an entire semester in the last week, which is impossible in most subjects. If there aren't consequences for NOT doing the en route work, what do you think would happen? Party time! ;-)
