Assessment tasks shouldn't be Googleable

If your students can complete your assessment task and receive high grades by copying from Google or Wikipedia, the problem is not with the student but with the task.
Amen to that!

... although it's just occured to me that I think it's the assessment process that shouldn't allow a Googleable solution to gain marks -- lots of good problems have solutions online, it's how we assess the students' understanding of "their" solution that makes the difference.
