I’m an undergraduate doing CS at a ~T25 school and this article is 100% true. I think outsiders have almost no idea the extent to which cheating is rampant especially in engineering classes. We are talking about Copilot, taking exams with 2 or 3 of your friends who are former students in the class with you, bathroom breaks to Google answers on the in person tests, copying project source code from former students in classes who put it on their Github because they need something to put on there when they apply for a job, requesting “mental health days” any time something is due, and downloading entire homework’s off CourseHero because the instructors didn’t change anything from last semester. Most CS classes now just have projects worth about 40%, homework worth 20%, and the rest come from in person exams. This means someone who cheated on all the assignments and doesn’t actually know anything will likely at the most get a low B. Online exams are widely perceived to be cheating bonanzas among the student body.
