Shelley says he is convinced the majority of the 288 students in his health-care law course cheated on their April 24 final exam using AI.
“I had eight per cent of my class receive 100 per cent on the multiple choice. Fifty-five per cent scored over 90 per cent. I’ve never seen marks like that in 20 years of teaching,”
The tenured professor, who has spent 10 years at the London, Ont., university, says he decided not to use proctoring software because he believes it does not prevent cheating.
My guess is just time, money or resources. It seems this was an online course with students spread out, so the only options are to do a remote online proctored exam, using a third-party service that monitors your computer, or arrange individual invigilated in-person exams at a local venue for each student. The university may not be set up to do either of those, and I guess AI introduces a whole new level of cheating that they weren’t prepared for.
