Shelley says he is convinced the majority of the 288 students in his health-care law course cheated on their April 24 final exam using AI.
“I had eight per cent of my class receive 100 per cent on the multiple choice. Fifty-five per cent scored over 90 per cent. I’ve never seen marks like that in 20 years of teaching,”
The tenured professor, who has spent 10 years at the London, Ont., university, says he decided not to use proctoring software because he believes it does not prevent cheating.
“AI cheating” (allegations).
The AI can’t even work without cheating smh
It was intended to be closed-book and completed independently, with no use of external sources. The exam included both written answers and multiple-choice questions.
This was an online closed book exam? Would’ve killed for that back in the day…
Yeah, it’s wild to me that a professor would trust their students to do this online without any proctoring in any age. I can understand why he might not have wanted to use proctoring software, if they are easily circumvented. I guess the correct option – in-person proctoring via contracted companies, is just too resource-intensive.
The main difference is still AI though. Even if students cheated in the past, they would have had to flip through their textbook or their notes, and know where to find the answer, then put it in their own words. Now they don’t even have to do that small amount of work to cheat.
It’s nuts to think that these are 3rd year health-science undergrads who will soon be out there in the world having only learned an over-reliance on AI.

What is insane is these assholes are getting into medical school. In a few years, you’ll have to ask your doctor how many Rs are in Strawberry.
I keep thinking back to Idiocracy, where machine just had pictographic buttons… We’re almost there folks!
Who needs pictographic buttons when you can have AI models coax them through every step?
