Students of Moscow State Institute won't be able to cheat during tests, so they say

A press release that links our disparate professions to get the ball rolling again...
Within the framework of national priority project Education, Russian nickel company Norilsk Nickel and the Moscow State Institute of Steel and Alloys have implemented a joint project setting a good example of state-private partnership. (according to them)
The partners provided for the repair and hi-tech equipment of a multimedia lecture hall that will be named after Norilsk Nickel. "In cooperation with Norilsk Nickel we managed to design the lecture hall, which is unique for Russian institutions of higher education because it allows the installation of a testing system for each student," said Rector Yury Karabasov.
According to Yury Karabasov, this system allows individual testing at lectures and practical training classes in all disciplines. "The boundary between lectures and practical training classes is to be blurred. Each student will be tested individually and won't be able to rely on a neighbour's prompts or cribs. As a result, professional competence of our graduates will increase substantially," Yury Karabasov assured.
Interesting to see them use the UK meaning of crib, and not the US meaning...
