That is hilariously naive.

Particularly in the age of AI, professors might have to go back to the practice of oral exams to have people demonstrate their understanding of an issue. The problem for universities is that means you have to have a lower student:teacher ratio.



Or just any exam where the only thing you're allowed to use is "the mass of cells between your ears", as one instructor I know liked to put it.


Check the date on the issue... it's from 2015 way before (gen) AI was even close to being a thing much less being useful for actual coding.


I know - that's why I said "particularly". I was in college in the era of Facebook being for college students only.

My point was that a professor cannot fault providers of information on the internet for their students' unethical behavior. And if they can't trust their students to do remote assignments, then they should test with more reliable methods like in-person examinations.


The request was in 2015, dawg.
