The global nature of the web, I think, does have some effect on the way that we teachers evaluate our students. Since there are times that sites may not work and students have a hard time accessing the things that they need for class then we are more lenient on the grading. However, the evaluation can be hard if we find that the students have been searching the web and stealing information with giving credit. Since we can find almost anything that we need online then we have to be a little bit more careful when it comes to plagerism and things of that nature.
