| Jan 9, 2021 at 2:20 | comment | added | ZeroTheHero | This doesn’t answer the question but... Chegg will provide details on uploads to universities. Details include time of the upload and email associated with the post, with IP address I think. Anyways our uni. has had this issue in multiple courses and exams, has gotten info from Chegg on multiple occasions, confronted students using Chegg data in several cases, and secured academic misconduct penalty as well. It doesn’t solve the issue of the OP but certainly an unpleasant surprise for the students. | |

Collins | @Psychonaut: That's an interesting option -- but it appears to be more involved, in that it seems to expect a legal-form letter with additional information, an actual signature, etc. It would certainly be more convenient if the automated web form worked. | |
| Jan 8, 2021 at 18:29 | comment | added | Daniel R. Collins | @shoover: I have tried including three fields (to no effect). In fact, my guess was that the three fields would match the individual-request form fields (URL, location in page, work infringed) but that didn't help. | |
| Jan 8, 2021 at 18:28 | comment | added | Daniel R. Collins | @Jeroen: I have tried changing the delimiter and file-encoding (to no effect). | |

The form has three fields. What does your CSV look like? Are you including all three fields, even if empty? e.g. "https://example.com/path/to/exam/question",,

| Jan 8, 2021 at 6:29 | comment | added | Daniel R. Collins | @MishaLavrov: Perhaps you're splicing the separate "investigate" and "takedown" procedures available at Chegg. I'm in close contact with our chief academic integrity officer, and am the first to inform and educate them about what Chegg is and how it works. | |
| Jan 8, 2021 at 5:30 | comment | added | user92734 | @DanielR.Collins In my experience, they have always (eventually) done this. It might take knowing the right way to ask them. Does your university have some sort of office of academic integrity you can ask about this? | |

| Jan 8, 2021 at 3:11 | comment | added | user92734 | @AnonymousPhysicist Usually, the benefit of the "takedown" is that Chegg sends you the answers posted there, and you get somewhat more concrete evidence that the students who cheated got their answers there. | |
| Jan 8, 2021 at 2:52 | comment | added | Anonymous Physicist | If your problem is cheating during an exam, how will takedown after the exam help? You need to address this with your students; even if they wanted to, Chegg could not stop cheating during the exam. | |
