[Bioteaching] advice for addressing widespread cheating on exam

[Kelly Sutherland]

Hi all,

I am grading the Canvas online final exam for BI357 (Marine Biology) and there's evidence of widespread cheating.  I don't think it's realistic to pursue each student that I suspect of cheating and it can also be hard to prove.  For example, some students had answers that were technically correct but included information that we never discussed in class.

I am not shocked but definitely disappointed and am wondering what other folks have done to address instances of widespread academic misconduct, especially this year.

Would people be willing to share their experiences/approaches?
Many thanks,
Kelly
