cheating online
I have had several spouses and family members take on line courses at the same time and submit similar work. They end up getting similar grades. I really hate that they may be losing out but?
One way to help with this, depending on the type of class, is to provide a variety or essays type assignments where students must have independent topics. The student may not do their own work but it will make it harder for a family to rely on one person to do all the work.
I've had some students take online classes, like take home tests, etc. and you never know if it's their work or not. Unfortunately you'll never unless they can be assessed in class. But online will always be a problem. I understand your concerns.
