Morgan Stanley: "the hype around generative AI may be justified and..."

17. When teaching in person I always did

Hand written exams. But people can still cheat depending on the type of exam. Now I am teaching online for the classes that have written assignments so it’s a very different situation.

You said you won’t don’t want doctors etc. that cheat on their exams but I can assure you that a lot of your doctors even if they didn’t cheat on the exams are terrible anyway. Not that I’m encouraging cheating on exams etc. But I do not get paid enough and I am not sure how to check for this type of cheating. One of the exams I have I made it fool proof for cheating it’s a multiple choice exam which is graded by a system. All of the questions are shuffled and they come from a pool of 200 possible questions each from a different subject group. If a student has to retake the exam for any reason they will never get the same exam again. The answers to the questions are also shuffled as well.

There’s a time limit however I do let them use study materials so it’s sort of like an open book exam. I can guarantee you though even with me letting them do that there will still be people that try to cheat and they’ll probably figure out a way to do it. And some people still do very poorly on the exam even with being allowed to look at study materials.
