Whoa -- I assumed I would get a notification when you replied, but apparently not. Glad I checked the thread again!
Interesting point! I definitely see where you're coming from here... If I gave a take-home exam, I would want students to use their notes, some online resources, etc. I just wouldn't want them to copy an exact answer from online or other students. That may just be impractical today.
100% agree. I had small enough classes that I could check for plagiarism more directly. And, what you said later is spot on -- I think most students who cheated were not subtle enough to make hard-to-detect changes. Though, if they were, I wouldn't know they cheated, so... hard to say.
Yep! Based on an online dictionary that said "proctor" was the US version of invigilator :)
Anyway, you make some great points, so thanks for the discussion!
Yeah, that happens sometimes to me, too. It's incredibly frustrating.
