The problem with widespread cheating even if you don't cheat yourself is it essentially reduces the credit rating of your $50k program and has knock on effects elsewhere, like worse interview loops. And if the 'cheater's workload' becomes the norm, you the non-cheater can be literally failed out of programs and scholarships because you didn't keep up.

At what point does "not keeping up with the cheaters" become "There is a more efficient way to do the task and this student's grade reflects they are choosing the inefficient approach?"

I'm reminded of the stories of employees getting busted because they were assigned a job so trivially automatable they either did automate it or they used some find-labor service to delegate it for a fraction of the cost out of their own pockets, who are then accused by the company of "not working."

It's the same logic of letting a machine do a gym exercise vs doing it yourself, you're missing the point of it, because otherwise the gym exercise is mostly useless.

To be honest, I think that cheating in any field is terrible and there is no excuse for it. As a writer for an essay sample site, I recently worked on several essays related to the topic of cheating. Cheating is a complex and multifaceted issue that affects students at all levels of education, and it was fascinating to explore the various aspects of this topic through academic essays. One of the Cheating Essay Examples https://samplius.com/free-essay-examples/cheating/ I worked on focused on the psychology of cheating. We examined the underlying factors that motivate students to cheat, including pressure to succeed, fear of failure, and a desire for recognition. Through a combination of empirical research and analysis, we were able to gain insights into the complex interplay of psychological and social factors that drive cheating behaviors.
