I’m a university professor who had to submit seven students to academic honor court for copying exam answers from Chegg. How did I find out? First, the answers were similar or verbatim identical to each other, second, they were absolutely terrible and non-sensical. The answers were so poorly written and in most cases so wrong that I couldn’t award even partial credit. I’m horrified that students pay actual money for this useless and poor service to cheat on exams. It’s literally not worth the 20$ a month and certainly not worth the academic probation when you get caught. Their TOS say that you should do your own work and only use the service for “study help”. So technically it’s not chegg’s fault when students misuse the services but let’s be realistic. The temptation is too great and it’s too easy, but if you copy this information your professors will catch it because the answers are so unhinged and unhelpful.
