[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she signed thr  UVA Honor Code, at matriculation, which everyone does, she is obligated to report. Honor violations are a very big thing at UVA.

She has no actual evidence.  People just mention that “everyone” uses Chat GPT for the online test they just had, etc. People have told her the prof in that class knows but [b]does not know how to fix it.[/b]  I feel like they have this honor code but it is a bit of a smokescreen.  It’s my understand kids who cheat get a 0 on the exam and have to write an apology letter.  It does not sound like kids are getting expelled.  They just get perfect GPAs and get into McIntire and Batton.[/quote]

What kind of test is this...and isn't an easy way to fix it to make everyone take the test in-person and not online?[/quote]
Financial Accounting.  Over 700 kids and it is an online class with online tests.[/quote]

My kid reports everyone cheats in this class as well. My kid does not and probably will get a lower grade which will go against them for McIntire (which I believe influences the cheating culture since it is so competitive to get in)[/quote]

I still don’t get it.  Doesn’t UVA have lecture halls that sit hundreds of kids?  Can’t they break the class into two groups (can’t be too hard to create two Financial Accounting midterms) and have them take the class in person?

Why is the class only offered online?  [/quote]
