Signs of cheating by students were confirmed in an exam for a major course at Korea University. Korea University also previously uncovered group cheating in a midterm exam for a general education lecture on the 25th of last month.
According to the university community on the 21st, a major course in the College of Engineering at Korea University held an online quiz exam in a classroom at 10:30 a.m. the previous day for about 80 students.
In the process, some students exploited a loophole in the program that allowed them to resit after submitting answers and viewing the results. They were found to have taken the quiz multiple times by correcting wrong answers and resubmitting. Some also reportedly used artificial intelligence (AI) such as ChatGPT or Gemini.
The professor in charge of the lecture said, "I found signs that many students took the quiz repeatedly," and announced that the results would be invalidated and a retest would be held.
At Korea University on the 25th of last month, group cheating using open chat rooms and AI was also revealed in a non-face-to-face general education lecture with 1,400 students, sparking controversy.
