The problem is that professors want a test with high sensitivity and students want a test with high specificity and only one of them is in charge of choosing and administering the test. It's a moral hazard.
- ec109685 2y agoDo professors really not want high specificity too? Why would they want to falsely accuse anyone?
- tightbookkeeper 2y agoNo. Professors want students that don’t cheat so they never have to worry about it. This is an ethics problem (people willing to cheat), this is a multi cultural problem (different expectations of what constitutes cheating) this is an incentive problem (credentialism makes cheating worth it). Those are hard problems. So a little tech that might scare students and give the professor a feeling of control is a band aid.
