Wait? These people were having unsupervised exams with access to their phone and now they see that they need to do something? I mean, the numbers speak for themselves when 45% of students say they were aware of an “honor code violation” during their time as students. I was at uni for five years, and I literally don’t know about a single case of cheating on exams among my peers.
Seems to me that cheating was already rampant, they just found a new excuse to do something about it.
To be clear by the way: Our exam “supervision” literally consisted of some pensioned seniors that got paid to come in for a day to hand out exam papers, receive and archive your response, and otherwise just hang around in the exam hall so people wouldn’t feel safe just blatantly bringing notes or their phone.
it was about letting the students collectively set their own punishments and self-govern their behavior to shut down the possibility of authoritarian abuse. anarchists have been exploring this idea for centuries
Agreed.
Kinda insane that they were just trusted not to cheat.
Good.
I had exam proctors in college. It’s only a problem if you spent all your time partying and didn’t do the work.
Were you an RA?
