When I taught a class of engineering students Python in 2015 they were all copying from each other, did some basic plagiarism checks and 40% had submitted identical code. The University then didn’t care, lots of international students paying higher fees than domestic students.
- theamk 2y agoThat's how universities lose their reputation, and that's why the programmer hiring process is so complicated.
- TZubiri 2y agoIf you consider that plagiarism it's a bit overzealous. Definitely not in the same league as asking chatgpt to solve for you. Working with or seeking information from colleagues is a valid and essential part of university.
- physicsguy 2y agoIt is plagiarism, we’re not talking simple weekly assignment, it was a core course and it was a 40% of the module. They had to write a report along with it and two Chinese students had copied much of that from Wikipedia and had the same exact passages!
- TZubiri 2y agoAh I thought you meant stuff like " write a sorting algorithm given this function signature in C"
