The new WVU budget slashes nearly 10 percent of majors and 7 percent of all faculty—but students and staff aren't going down without a fight.

    For one, you can have a second screen and Google the answers. It’s a little bit harder in person.

    I’d really like to see a system of online learning where extension offices are built out into testing center networks. This still disenfranchises people sadly, but staves off some existential questions about what passing an exam even means now.

      I’ve seen people cheat in person, too. Many in-person classes assign everything as homework which means people can still look up the answers at home.

      If this is the issue, a proctored midterm and final are the answer for remote learners. One or two in person test sessions, just for an hour or two to verify they really know it.

      There’s no reason schools need to charge $100K for that. I can stay at a cafe for an hour for $10. Throw in the proctor, split amongst all test takers, and the grading and a class could be $50.
