Good luck with that, academic cheating is a massive market.
No matter the crackdown, the demand is always so high that someone will inevitably find a way to market services (such as Chegg or essay-for-hire services).
The best counter against it is designing courses so that cheaters get minimal benefit while students that study get rewarded (such as closed note exams and lowering the value of homework assignments).
Otherwise, whether it's ChatGPT, Chegg, or paying a friend who took the course last semester for their homework solutions, there's no real stopping it.
- TZubiri 2y agoThe discipline in question matters. I get that this may happen for an arts degree, or something like that, it's wrong on a moral level, slap on the wrist no biggie. But if we are talking physicians or lawyers, it becomes a criminal matter for me. Computer science I feel is on a gray area, and Engineering in the US doesn't have the same protections as it does in other countries. I'm starting to think we'll have to license computer programming in the following decade, there's so many quacks and shit software going around, something is gonna go horribly wrong.
