More points for tests
Less points for homework
That shite was a problem when I was at LSU. People just copied homework answers then bomb the tests and pass with Bs and Cs.

Like sfp said, no class worth a damn gives credit for homework.
Homework is a "you'll do it if you know what's good for you" thing.

With all due respect, I cheated the frick my way through undergrad and I was gone by 2009.
But back in the day you had to be innovative while cheating (how M I going to get these formulas or answers into the test without getting caught) - the process taught you something.
These young bucks have AI handing them the cheat codes.

The only time I can recall really "cheating" was when I turned in my high school research paper for an assignment in a humanities class about religion.
I ended up getting a better grade too

I had to ban ChatGPT on my 12 year olds Chromebook because I caught her using it for homework.
I use Chatgtp to help my 8th grader with his homework all the time in the form of study and review questions for tests. These are from actual "chats" in the past month or so.
"Could you give me 20 8th grade math questions radicals add, subtract, multiply and divide radicals."
"for 8th grade science. make 15 study questions based on Energy and natural resources and related topics"
"Make me a 20 study quiz for 8th grade history about the Louisiana purchase and westward expansion"
Honestly, it comes up with better questions than his teachers. It also give me an idea if he's ready for his tests or not.

AI can be an amazing learning (not cheating) tool if done right.

Degrees are completely worthless these days. Dr. Oldmanbeasley had to work hard to get his honorary doctorate from one of the most prestigious universities in all of Laos.

Cheating and breaking laws is good training for survival in the United States. Those who do not cheat and break the law do not get ahead....some who cheat and break the law do not either but almost everyone who does get wealthy and powerful does so by cheating and breaking the law....

If everyone is cheating then no one is cheating!

Oh yea, the US is the only place where people "cheat" to get ahead

What are they calling cheating?
If it's wholesale "ChatGPT write this paper for me", sure.
If it's using it to curate information as opposed to google...that's what it's for.
It takes discipline, for sure, but using AI as a tool isn't inherently bad. Depending on AI for everything will stunt your mental faculties,

I have used ChatGPT for study guides as well.

I completely agree, but it was very common in the College of Engineering.

There was always cheating, it was just how students went about it.
I would absolutely be the a-hole that would start administering in-person tests on paper, no electronics, and failing the frick out of students I caught cheating.

Teachers have tried AI-proofing assignments, returning to Blue Books or switching to oral exams. Brian Patrick Green, a tech-ethics scholar at Santa Clara University, immediately stopped assigning essays after he tried ChatGPT for the first time. Less than three months later, teaching a course called Ethics and Artificial Intelligence, he figured a low-stakes reading reflection would be safe — surely no one would dare use ChatGPT to write something personal. But one of his students turned in a reflection with robotic language and awkward phrasing that Green knew was AI-generated. A philosophy professor across the country at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock caught students in her Ethics and Technology class using AI to respond to the prompt “Briefly introduce yourself and say what you’re hoping to get out of this class.”

At LSU? Can only speak for CE and ME classes, but hw was worth maybe 5% back when I was in school.

I could have told you that.

That's what's happening in schools/universities. You assign a 10 page paper due on X subject and they're just letting ChatGPT write it for them and "do the research".
Back in the day it was buying already written essays off websites or other students though.
