“Cheating has always been a problem in higher education, but ChatGPT has caused it to metastasize. The Chronicle of Higher Education reports that the percentage of students at one college who admit cheating has jumped ‘from 35 percent in 2019 to 65 percent in 2024.’ This school is not an outlier. Teachers can see how bad it’s gotten. One professor emailed a student caught using ChatGPT to write a paper to warn that she would fail the course if she did it again. The student replied with a heartfelt apology but soon did it again. It turned out that the apology itself had been spewed by ChatGPT. How to combat the trend? There are many ways if one is serious about it.” (11/29/24)
