Abstract
In teaching and learning environments, cheating and the violation of academic integrity have always been one of the challenges, involving different levels of concerns such as administrative, personal knowledge, learning, and equity. The introduction of large language models has brought cheating in dialogue to the forefront, given the apparent capabilities of these models to complete students' academic assignments. This study aims to leverage recent dialogues among university professors about cheating with Generative AI to better understand their beliefs about academic honesty. In doing so, we analyze a corpus of 2.01 million posts (threads and comments) in the r/Professors subreddit discussing cheating after the release of ChatGPT, providing a better understanding of teachers' motivations to discourage cheating and the strategies they use to do so. We synthesize the why and how of addressing cheating to identify caveats about the future of AI and academic integration.
