A Chapman University Professor is suing some of his students for allegedly cheating on his exams.
The unnamed students are accused of posting his exam materials on Course Hero - a site popular among students for sharing syllabuses and lecture notes.
He hopes that the lawsuit will force the website to reveal the identities of the students who shared the exam.
The professor’s lawyer says his exams were copyrighted, and that by posting those exams, students were infringing on the professor’s copyrighted material.
“Each of the exams at the top of it said 'Quiz Instructions. This is a closed book exam, do not use the internet, do not ask anyone else for help. Do not copy the exam questions or your exam answers”
He claims students who cheated unfairly caused their honest classmates to receive lower grades on the school's curve.
I was a terrible test-taker and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t cheat on a test or two but I did it the old fashion way with writing the answers on my arm. I couldn’t imagine having a full-blown website to go to!
