Statistics is a math developed to prove cheating. Moe outliers = more cheaters.

My institution is ending digital exams. We had a certain level of trust with students, that's officially over.

Yeah, I'm in infosec and I had to pull browser history of students a lot last year because they used AI to cheat on exams.

Yeah, I was saying the cheating being AI usage is what couldn't be proven. They mentioned a few other possibilities like the tests being leaked or people working off camera with them.

But yeah, the cheating is obvious. And the likelihood of it being done by AI is damn near certain.

My recent exams were digital but heavily monitored. Couldn't even use my own pen lol

Should probably phase out home essays, as well.
