I teach at a private college and… yeh – they will cheat. And the admin? Well, it’s all about retention.

The only way (IMO) is to design a test that assumes that the students will ‘help’ each other – and then tell them to pair up and go to it.

Might not be the best way to judge learning ( but who cares – it”s THEIR brain not mine ) but it eases the hassle of dealing with cheater histronics.

Bitter much? Surrendered much? Well – not MUCH!!
