I had never heard the allegation before.

Reminds me a good quote: "If you're not cheating, you're not trying."

Has anybody went back and corroborated this with the video of the actual games?

Definitely heard this one before, but I wonder what the general opinion of that is among sports stackers. Do y'all agree with that sentiment?

In the classroom setting that I'm more familiar with, I don't agree with it because the goal is not getting a good grade, the goal is actually learning.

Great question.

A lot of different thoughts run through my head:

  • Is the Class graded on a curve?
  • Did the student fully prepare for the class (Studying, attending class, etc..)?
  • Is the way they cheated actual listed in the course rule book or did they violate the spirit of the rules? Example: Cheating of another student's test vs using AI to provide feed back on a first draft of a paper.

  • I don't grade on a curve, precisely so that cheaters can't harm other students.
  • If a student fully prepares, and just gets nervous on a test, does that make cheating more acceptable? Genuine question.
  • I would refer to uncontroversial examples of cheating, like using a phone during a test which is explicitly not allowed. I already have a liberal policy for AI use on take-home assignments. In general, I already do not put in any rules that would be impossible to enforce.
