yeah maybe making a extreme stress system for kids in which failling a test could make you lose a whole year work of school and dissapoint every family member you have is not a good education system
Legitimately debating dropping physics 2 because it sucks online, and people cheated last semester, so they're enforcing the super sus software, and there's only one test, so I also have no idea what I'm doing.
i dropped a architectural engineering class like last week because it is incredibly hard to learn something like that through a google classroom and then instal some spyware to do a test that will probably make me have to do it again next semester like why would i even waste my time on this class when the teacher is trying too make this as hard as possible to pass
Honestly, if cheating is such a big concern, then it's very likely that the test isn't really testing your knowledge, but rather your memorization skills. I can't easily cheat if the answers require a unique perspective that I can't copy from somewhere else. Plagiarism is an entirely different thing, and a much more serious concern, the way I see it.
Besides, who gives a shit? Cheating is also an expression of problem-solving skills. I don't know why people make such a fuss when it comes to cheating on a test. Who cares?
Edit: also, most education in our world is tailored towards giving you the necessary skills to join the workforce. When was the last time you had to do whatever the hell it is that you do professionally today (and that you studied for years in order to be allowed, not necessarily able, to do), without doing something that would be qualified as cheating in education? Is it cheating to go on stack overflow? Is it cheating to pay and have someone do something for you when you're not entirely confident in your own abilities to do it? Once again: who fucking cares?
imo the increased volume of students online is just making this more obvious, it has always been incredibly easy to cheat in college.
only the people who are bad at it are getting caught
