In a thought-provoking article by Jeffrey R. Young, education expert Tricia Bertram Gallant argues that while AI has transformed student cheating, the core strategies to prevent it remain largely unchanged. As director of UC San Diego's Academic Integrity Office, Gallant emphasizes that understanding student motivations is crucial for addressing academic dishonesty.
Key insights from the article:
- Most students aren't inherently looking to cheat - they're young people still developing their ethical framework
- While AI tools like ChatGPT have made cheating more accessible and anonymous, the solutions still center around teaching with integrity
- The focus should be on thoughtful assignment design rather than relying on cheating detection tools
