[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]
[b]Financial Accounting.  Over 700 kids and it is an online class with online tests.[/quote][/b]

Someone's fudging the truth. UVA incoming  classes are only 4,400 students. I can assure that 1/6 of your DD's class is not taking Financial Accounting.  UVA takes great pride in that it is much smaller than many other public universities at a total of 17,000. Faculty to student ratio is 1:15. 53% of the classes have fewer than 20 students in them. My kids' majors were all very small seminars from sophomore year on .[/quote]

I'm not fudging. There are 700 kids on the class.  Ask the other. parent who posted about the class.  The Econ classes are also 400-500 kids.

Highly unlikely.  My kid took macro (Ken Elzingaand micro. 130 students each time. UVA publishes lists of classrooms by sizeMost are under 30. The largest is chem at 480 capacity and nursing at 430. There are no econ classrooms that large . Seehttps://classrooms.its.virginia.edu/list

I don't know why you keep calling me a liar.  My kid is actually at. UVA and is in an Econ class that is over 400 kids.  It's the largest class ever.  They even took a picture. Financial Accounting is 700 + online.  I think it is because this year is the switch from applying second year to Macintire to applying first year so there are twice as many kids in the prerequisites.[/quote]

DP. I'm at UVA and just checked. There is no online Financial Accounting class of 700 at UVA. That IS 1/6 of the incoming class - Financial Accounting has never been that popular.[/quote]
You’re wrong (np). Financial accounting this semester shows almost 700 in it on louslist.

That being said, I do have a student at UVA and I have heard about serious issues that have come up with cheating and they have changed the course design to try to prevent it. I also personally know someone who was suspended for one year due to cheating at UVA. So yes it happens and yes they do get caught.[/quote]
