Cheating Is Easier Than Ever For Online College Students | TODAY

  1. I’ve taken 4 online classes so far in college and I don’t cheat but if anyone is they could easily find out. In my precalc class, we weren’t allowed to use notes or any other resources so we had to take the tests while being recorded with camera and mic (it wouldn’t even let you take it if you didn’t have both) and in a lockdown browser. Couldn’t close the lockdown thing until you finished and if your eyes looked another direction (looking at notes), if they see an extra light from like your phone, if they hear pages flipping, or if you get up and leave the professor would assume you were cheating. If you look in one direction for too long, that’s also suspicious. Ofc they can hear your pencil if you’re actually writing. And, we had to pass a verification thing before starting where you had to show the area around you with your whole desk and everything. In english, they used an ai detector that gives you a percentage of how much words are the same and in the same order as any source online. The rest of my classes have been open notes and if I need to find a keyword quickly in them I can just ctrl+f.

  2. I feel like these cheaters are just putting in the same amount of effort as their teachers. They want to stop cheating, but don't want to stop using copied & pasted content from the textbook publisher for the entire class.

  3. Honestly, my hope is if we automatically went back to in person teaching only, professors and teachers will be more serious about us learning instead of worrying about making the grade. That's part of the reason students are cheating anyways, is because teachers and professors can't teach. It is a rarity that I can find teachers and professors are passionate about teaching us in schools anymore, while the rest of them are on the internet. All students are focused on now is trying to get their degrees and be done with it, but the learning part isn't really there.

    I already know majority of the professors and teachers aren't gonna be serious about it, but here we are.

  4. My brother used Chegg and Quizlet for college during covid but he was smart with how he did it. If it was an answer that he had to type, he'd paraphrase the answer. If it was a test that he finished quickly, he'd let the timer run for a while

  5. There should be a segment on teacher's NOT teaching to have students retain knowledge but rather teaching just for a passing grade smh. You guys missed the mark with this.

  6. i wouldn't do something like this. how r they sposed to learn if they don't do the work?

    i knew a guy that claimed he used 2 get paid 2 do ppls work 4 them but don't think its the same thing. ppl like that don't care about integrity, except 4 when they lie they have it. i thought it wuz incredibly dumb he would publicly brag about it, not like he ever got caught tho. some ppl hav more boldness than brains, ironically the guy wuz still very smart despite that

  7. Here is the issue most teachers- who teach online courses don't lecture! I am a self pay and one of teachers meets with us for twenty minutes and then dismisses us. My major is pre nursing and It's imperative I have a grasp of Algebra or any math really. Yet most teachers don't care!
