teachers be like “don’t plagiarize.” Bruh your entire lesson is on quizlet.

Imagine you get expelled because you decided to go on the Today Show and straight up admit that you’re cheating on National Television

College is 90% self taught, 10% learning in class.

This just shows you that when grades matter more than actually learning and providing a quality education this is the outcome.

*No one* should be surprised by this. Online means access to the internet is part of the learning. I’d be surprised if people _weren’t_ cheating.

I have classes that are costing me thousands of dollars and never once spoken to the teachers. Everything is computer generated and graded by the computer. They literally do nothing and charge full price. Still being charged student activities fees and campus is closed. That is the real story not that students use the internet to research answers.

I had a class where we were allowed to “open notes, open google, open whatever possible” and still got no answer. Now, that’s something else.

lmao y’all late with this? it’s been a year, anyways focus on the real enemies: universities charging full tuition 🙃

Yo just leave us alone and let us pass our classes

I thought this was public knowledge. The professors are guilty of it as well. You can literally type the questions they ask on a test in google and the answer will come up.

I don’t cheat and I’m failing. Students who cheat, they are passing. Most professors aren’t teaching. I have to teach myself as tutoring is limited. I’m just paying the professor to give me a test.

Why do some teachers and professors get their whole test from Quizlet and then turn around and judge students for cheating 🤔

They love to focus on the students plagiarizing but never the professor doing the same 😭 How you gonna copy someone else’s whole test to then judge students for cheating?

Prof: Copy and paste question = scholar Student: Copy and paste answer = cheater WTF ?

Look, don't blame the students here. This has been a much bigger problem for much longer than anyone wants to admit. The problem is the fact that everything is based on grades: scholarships, banks, jobs, etc, but that grades are arbitrary. Grades are supposed to mean that someone has put a lot of effort in and/or knows the material very well, yet every single student in America knows someone who just memorized the information and forgot it, or those that are just naturally intellectually gifted and that never had to try very hard. What you're seeing right here is not a problem of cheating, though that may seem like it's the case. What you're seeing right here is a bunch of students adapting to meet the goals set by the university (aka, getting good grades), and then being punished when they meet those goals, simply because they didn't do it the exact way they were supposed to. Now, if you want students to stop cheating, all you've got to do is change the goals. If learning were actually about learning, guess what, you wouldn't have these record high levels of cheating, because then there wouldn't be a point to it. Cheaters wouldn't be rewarded for good grades, and they wouldn't be able to pass the classes, either.

This show is complete & utter BS! I have 4 "teachers" this semester, I can only tell you what ONE of them looks & sounds like. Why is that? The teachers at my school don't even hold classes. No Zoom or Microsoft Teams..NOTHING. How am I supposed to learn Calculus with no actual teacher?? That's the problem, not students trying their best to absorb information on their own & turning to Google because it's a better teacher.

Guilty of it. Math has never been easier. Chegg and quizlet have been livesavers.

old news i cheated the first day of pandemic 😂😂😂😂

STUDENTS ARE DOING THIS TO SURVIVE. AND THEY HAVE TO COMPETE WITH OTHER STUDENTS WHO ARE CHEATING SO IF YOU DONT CHEAT YOU WILL DO WORSE.

Okay but can we talk about those people in the beginning snitching like their lives depend on it. They sang like a canary.

As an adult you research for answers regardless. At work I’m going to Google questions about things I don’t know lol. It’s independent research.

Teachers are also guilty of being lazy and unwilling to evaluate their ineffective teaching methods. If they ask questions that can easily be looked up on tests, they're doing something wrong. It's honestly just as ineffective as having students memorize and throw up answers they won't retain long term anyway.

College isn't about learning, it's about getting a certification that you can waste money and do your chores in today's hyper-inflated job market.

I had a physics class that was open note, open book, open internet, open everything but you couldn’t find anything online for quizzes no matter how much you tried. I feel if professors weren’t lazy and set their own questions, the cheating wouldn’t be a problem.

And the sky is blue..

Everyone used Chegg way back before Covid. Nowadays, you gotta do anything you can to be an advantage versus others.

The school systems did this to themselves. If they only care about the numbers instead of what is learned, why should the students?

Why are these people exposing us?!

Honestly the bigger issue is that how well you do is more important than how much you learn. I once was asked if I wanted to take an easy professor “do you want an A or do you want to learn”? Umm both ideally but we are taught an A is more important. It technically means nothing.

It’s not our fault that college forces us to take classes that we don’t even care about in the “core curriculum.” Since college is obviously a money grab from us we may as well make it easier for ourselves. We wouldn’t cheat as much in the classes we actually care about because we actually want to know the material in those classes.

The real story is how we didn’t ask to do online school yet forced to take these classes and pay full price for them.

Why are the questions taken directly from the internet? Why are professors being so lazy? I have incredible teachers who creat their own original work, and googling it will get you nowhere unless you know what to Google for, all of that taking way too much time for one question. Students will ALWAYS try to find a easier way out.

This makes me think about when I was in grad school. One night during class, right before a test, one of my professors told the class that he approached the department head once and asked, "Why are we making these students take tests without their notes and textbooks? When they start working in their field, they're going to have access to books, the internet, and their coworkers as sources of information for things they don't know." He said the department head thought he was insane for asking that. I had already enjoyed him as a professor; and my like for him increased that night. He was right though. Information is at the tip of our fingertips nowadays via smart phones, tablets, and PCs. You can Google just about anything!

I feel grades matter rather than me understanding. I don't have ample time to comprehend certain things in my engineering classes but they don't care. Grades grades grades. Cheating helps us continue college because apparently actually teaching isn't a principle

Why would y’all snitch🤦🏾‍♀️

nothing wrong with cheating. students are utilizing their resources

So why admit to this on camera?

People are dying. Students are getting sick and they focus on this??!??!!!!??? It is so hard to go to school during a pandemic.

These kids act like they're not guilty of it as well lmao

WHY ARE U EXPOSING US PLS. Also my uni downloads this software that DISABLES other software AND detects eye movement and audio.

This was so biased 😂. Not all the answers are online and you can actually learn from the step by step instructions. These apps got me through high school math.

And yet I don’t blame the kids, or myself, I blame the education system, we’re taught that it’s the grade that matters and not taught to actually learn

its not cheating. It using your resources. real world no one has time to remember all this junk on the flyyy

If colleges treat students like criminals, then some won’t go to college, or will seek a refund.

I wish I could’ve cheated more this semester. They gave me 5 times as much coursework and I couldn’t keep up. It was so much. I’d much rather go back to at school classes.

To be honest, with this world being around internet, it’s unrealistic that you would not have access to google. Doctors use google, engineers use google. The skill of seeking information and going out to find information is way more useful because I will forget everything I’ve learned in a class within a month

Why is this a problem? Teachers get paid, Chegg gets paid, and students get grades. If you think about it, students are getting the short end.

Chegg has been a lifesaver for me for physics with calculus.

Online classes are so hard for me since I'm used to in person and hybrid. I don't learn anything in online classes.

There are worse tragedies in life. There are worse things than "cheating" in classes, especially when your teacher/professor is not a good teacher.

My microbiology teacher phrases her questions in a way that is not easy to google. She tells her students this in the beginning of the class. But her homeworks that are due before the tests always prep you enough. You're fairly familiar with the material and the questions make sense just from doing to the homework.

Yeahhh right, tell that to my professors who require cameras turned on exams. 🤯

I started cheating in the pandemic as well; it is my revenge against my university that doesn't do anything useful yet it keeps draining my money. I finally started to go to exams without nerve breakdowns and it feels great

Students feel more obligated to get good grades over actually learning the material. Teachers are being lazy and the schools are charging full tuition for classes where the teachers don’t even show they’re face. Also students are extremely unmotivated at this place in time so I don’t know what they expect. I feel bad for every family paying tens of thousands of dollars for their kid to be sitting in their room all day.

School just sucks. It’s all about the grades not the learning. Anyone can cram even in normal school and get a good grade on the exam and forget that information just for the grade

Whose idea was it to appear on the news and expose the students?

My issue is that no matter online or in class, EVERYTHING I learned will disappear or be forgotten after I had taken the classes’ final exams. Mostly everything I learned is not being put into use; therefore nothing really sticks, especially in the subjects I show little to no interest in...

I had a teacher once make her own questions that she didn't even know the answers to and was always wrong ..she was always asking us to change something she did wrong .....no one was passing her class

Got my BS 5 years ago all online and had so many people judge me for that and NOW they understand how hard it really is to self motivate

I am guilty of this. I used to cheat on all of my homework assignments and exams, but I immediately stopped because I realized that what I was doing was wrong and that by cheating, I wasn't learning anything either, so cheating barely helped me understand a single thing.

My calc 3 exams are open book. Still tough!

Grades matter more than the knowledge to universities

I literally don't think I can cheat in my classes since I'm an education student. We don't get tests, we just write a lot a essays that have no right or wrong answers and get graded on participation and professionalism.

Shi I'm in zoom class rn and we are watching this, I ain't guilty though I never use chuggs or whatever yall call it I use brainly so technically it don't count 🤷🏾‍♀️

I think if tests and quizzes are going to have all these googleable questions, they are asking for it. And most of the majors or classes they are taking aren't useful especially if they are just going to learn everything on the job. I'm a business major, why should I care if I cheat on my history exam? Unless it's for medical, law school, and the like, the schools should stop with all this "honor" bs especially since all these fields have no honor or honesty, and do nothing but cut corners once you actually work them.

Some of my professors in Grad school last year didnt do testing. They were focused on us understanding the info and had us do virtual oral reports, group projects, and different things other than question and answer tests.

Sometimes what you learn in class is not on the test. Looking up an answer online does not mean you are not learning, I’ve studied for hours and once I take an exam the wording is different from the way you might have studied it, that is because the professors are not creative and they use a generic quiz for most of their career. I like quizzes where critical thinking is applied, I can respond in my own words, and get feedback from the professor.

This is old news. Everyone who has a brain knows this.

I got this video recommended to me after I just watched a video where a professor makes an entire class retake the midterm due to someone leaking a test bank. I wonder how this professor is reacting to this happening.

My entire college career was a sham. Can you imagine if people actually figured out I cheated all through college and my diploma was bought, I'd lose my license.

Y’all ain’t gotta be so loud😭

Oh pleaseeee we’ve been cheating even before the pandemic, including in person classes.

People used Chegg and Quizlet all the time when I was in college. That was 10 years ago.

If you are cheating at least try to understand how you got the answer. That’s what i try to do and that’s how i learned some topics in math, chemistry, history etc. Google is literally your other teacher

“Academic integrity standards” how about you use that integrity to lower our tuition costs since we’re paying for school as if we are in person.

I don’t necessarily use the answers to cheat, I do the work on my own to try to get to the answer. Also when you stay as focused as you can on zoom it helps, I have good notes!

This is actually good for basics. Like, I was a communications major and really didn’t need algebra, so I would’ve done this. 🤣

I remember the days in high school when the teacher wouldn't allow calculators, because you can't always depend you will have a calculator around hahahaha

My physics professor knew we would cheat so he made it open note anyway.

Bruh why admit your cheating on tv while your STILL ATTENDING SCHOOL! Wait till after you graduate 😂

I had a teacher that let us use notes internet and anything. And she still let us have it. She’d say “you can use your books, phones, an exam from last year’s course… I really don’t mind.” Turns out she made 5 different exams per course and designed the questions herself. Ain’t nobody gonna find that on chegg or quizlet 😔 smh

Let the students cheat everyone has done it. I don’t know why they acting they never cheat in school

Most online exams are proctored live so if you cheat you won’t pass. Students cheat in classroom settings too.

Lmaoo they all keep saying they know friends who do it.....sure....friends lol

As a college student and doing online it’s almost impossible to pass and learn. It’s disappointing

but i think some teachers are misinterpreting this a bit. like, they assume everyone is cheating, or that because we technically have access to google it’ll be so easy. some of us are still struggling despite everything 😕 some people assume that online school is so easy for everyone but it’s really not. and having access to the internet won’t change that. it’s hard to comprehend stuff when everything you’re learning is on zoom sometimes

nobody’s gonna know. they’re gonna know. they know:(

Raise your hand if your degree makes it literally impossible to cheat!✋

I graduated only several years ago and remember when classmates would complain whenever a class would go online during snow days, instead of giving us off, feels for everyone that now does this everyday, even on sunny days.

I had never heard of Chegg but this video opened my eyes to the fact that I haven’t been using chegg. Thank you for telling me about this. I appreciate it greatly!!

this is a desperate cry for help from students who are struggling to learn this year like this say "it goes in one ear and out the other ". online schooling is not help students learn when its so easy to get distracted

Students are _not_ properly prepared for testing because of which of the following reasons: A: All of the above B: No lectures C: Middle aged and older teachers that lack the ability to use technology D: Technology makes learning and retaining more difficult E: Test questions are uncommon in everyday scenarios

Hahaha 🤣 I use to do this when I first started college back in 1999. They are soooo late lol. There are calculators and word rewriters that will change your words so teachers can't say you plagerized.

When will school understand that the suffering they gave to kids is the cause of their cheating

I know how it feels during these times. I am a college student myself in Louisiana, and I still try my best to make sure I do test honestly with no cheating. Not easy, not by a long shot, but it is possible

I never went to college so I would never understand the college lifestyle.

If teachers were actually teaching and schools were suitable and safe places for thee children and students, then there would be no need for students copying stuff from the internet.

I despise cheating. I really want to learn the information. But this days it’s difficult self-learning things online.

This is old. This has been going on for years! Teachers need to come up with new questions.

A smart professor will create an exam that is so difficult that you can’t even get a 💯 with the Internet in front of you.
