| Aug 22, 2022 at 11:13 | comment | added | Nico | @Buffy Why should grading be competitive? What is it good for? Grading can be feedback, but if a good grade is necessary for getting a degree and later a job, then it loses that function | |

| Aug 20, 2022 at 19:42 | comment | added | Buffy | I'm in agreement with @MassimoOrtolano on this, I think. Grading should not be competitive. Also, it is unclear to me when the discord group was created. If after the exam then there might not be any issue, especially with the uploaded materials. | |
| Aug 20, 2022 at 19:42 | comment | added | Buffy | It is unclear to me whether grading is competitive or not. Is there a "curve"? Is there a quota for different levels? Anything like that is competitive. The opposite situation is that your paper is judged on what you write independent of what anyone else write. Which is the situation you face? | |

| Jan 29, 2021 at 8:54 | comment | added | FourierFlux | Depends if you can benefit from it or not. Personally I prefer open everything exams, reporting cheating makes it more likely the format gets changed which I wouldn't want. I will say foreign students are kind of notorious for cheating within groups made up of people from the same country. I have witnessed it among many chinese . | |

| Jan 28, 2021 at 13:47 | comment | added | Alchimista | @CaptainEmacs viable alternative indeed. | |
| Jan 28, 2021 at 13:42 | comment | added | Captain Emacs | @Alchimista If OP reports anonymously, they do not need to name the perpetrator, only evidence that cheating took place. This makes it easier to identify the cheating, and it's not on OP's conscience to have snitched. | |
| Jan 28, 2021 at 13:41 | comment | added | Federico Poloni | @Alchimista Many universities grade on a curve, so, yes, in that case you are directly competing with them. | |

| Jan 28, 2021 at 13:21 | comment | added | user572780 | @Alchimista I kind of have the same feeling, but we are competing for degree classes/PhD opportunities. It wouldn't bother me if people got 5 extra marks, but I think its more substantial than that. | |
| Jan 28, 2021 at 13:11 | comment | added | Alchimista | I think this is opinion based. I would personally report abuse by the staff. But it never came to my mind to report a student fellow cheating on exam. Personally, I found this a scary attitude. But, as I said, is matter of opinion. If cheating would occur while competing for a position or a job, that would be a different and directly impacting situation. Conversely, the world doesn't get worse because a random person got a 10 mark instead of 5. | |
