And the University has more than enough information on hand to link IP addresses back to students. So through a little detective work, they could figure out who shared the question and who used the answer provided, especially when the answer provided was unusual or just plain wrong.Īnd if a professor goes through the University to contact chegg, they can get the IP address of every student who viewed a question, as well as the time at which they viewed it. If they contact Chegg themselves, they can get the date and time of the upload, the date and time the question was answered, account information of the uploader, and the solution on chegg. How much info a professor gets depends on how they reach out to Chegg. In addition, reports will be sent to the Office of the Dean of Students, who will impose University-level punishment.īottom line: just don't cheat. If the investigations are not completed before grades are due, we will file grade changes to change the cheaters' grades. Those who viewed the postings on Chegg will receive a zero on the final exam. The Math Department has adopted the following policy pertaining to this matter: Those who posted the exam problems will get an F for the course. Using this information and with the assistance of iTaP I was able to identify several students who posted problems and numerous students who viewed the questions. Chegg sent me information about the students who posted the exam problems and viewed the problems. Some of the final exam problems were posted on Chegg during the window for the exam.

It is with heavy heart that I write this announcement.
