Professor Smith’s classes are notoriously tough, but he is also known for his tendency to use the exact same problems, test questions and homework assignments, over and over again, in his class, without ever switching up. Furthermore, his material is all 100% online, and the software gives the answers (showing what’s correct and incorrect) after you hit the Submit button for a quiz or test.

Jane Doe decides to game the system by taking his class while fastidiously noting down all the questions and answers. She doesn’t pass the class the first time, but takes it a second time - this time knowing all the answers - and passes.

Has Jane cheated?

  • yes, this is cheating
  • no, it’s fair game

Do you have an adventurous enough palate to be a judge on a show like that?

  • I do!
  • nope, not me
