Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Academic misconduct amongst students is a consistent problem in education. Plagiarism, cheating in exams and the dangers of inappropriate online comments or behaviours can have significant negative effects upon the student Academic misconduct is particularly important because there has been a drastic increase in cases all around the world in recent history The present study took a sample of 121 students from Humber College Lakeshore Campus, Toronto, Canada. This study was interested in exploring students' knowledge of academic policy through testing; participants were split into two groups where one was exposed to written policy and the other to audio-visual policy. The students were then tested on the policy and were compared based on their results. With the exception of one question there was no statistical significance when comparing these two groups. Moreover, in what has commonly been referred to as the fool's dilemma, students who selected incorrect responses actually reported a high level of confidence in their responses. This is troubling because cases of academic dishonesty can be detrimental to academic and professional careers It is essential that issues of academic misconduct be understood and studied at an extensive level because issues of academic misconduct can potentially devastate future prospects for students and institutions alike.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
