The use of the student collaboration example tended to legitimise the practice as simply a matter of time economy and student choice, ignoring ethical principle or course/lecturer instructions. There are further source references and links to be added.

[edit] Sexism in the phrase

There is no doubt that Man-hour is a phrase with sexist connotations. It can refer to many kinds of work, regardkess of the gender of the worker. However, the term itself refers specifically to the "man" aspect. An over-sensitive person might even suspect that the term implies that women are incapable of work; however, that is mere speculation. The inherent sexist implications are not. Citation not needed to back that up, thank you. Sorry for bothering you. ^_~ Nagyss 23:00, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RIDICULIOUS!

It is not a sexist term, now 'gender-challenged' my pro-speak way of naming the woman gender, is debatably offence to women.

Haha who on earth would find man hour offensive? Not a member of mankind, anyway. --Confederate till Death (talk) 01:00, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
