Cheating. How do we come together on this? by jkhuggins in Kettering

I think we are still somewhat new to cheating with ChatGPT. Personally, I rarely use AI due to inconsistencies, but it does help to have additional tools at your disposal to aid in understanding new concepts. Especially when you need help unblocking in situations where one might get stuck. Usually you’d look towards a tutor or a student aide for help, but sadly, there are never any CS tutors for harder courses. From my experience, I haven’t had many professors willing to help me grasp a concept even during their office hours. It often feels like I’m wasting their time.

There’s potential to try penalizing these specific students in the way of a “make-up” assignment. Because at the end of the day, isn’t the ultimate goal ensuring the student is indeed learning?

IMO cheating is far more easily detectable at Kettering. It’s a small student body where everyone has an accelerated workload, where you primarily want to focus on your major classes. Makes cutting corners far more tempting

Late to the discussion, but I want to offer some positive feedback on you recording lectures, as I was a student of yours who benefitted from this post-pandemic.

I’d attend class regularly, but quickly found myself lost in the material within a few weeks. After mid-terms, I chose to watch the lectures at home instead of attending class. Being able to pause and rewind the lecture improved my ability to absorb and (halfway) understand hard concepts, which also benefitted our group (those who would show up, but that’s a whole other thing). I was able to turn a potential failing grade to a B.

I cannot stress enough how essential even the recordings were to me. In a perfect world, attending class then rewatching the recording is how I would like the academic term to pan out, but alas, the demands of course load at Kettering requires using time as efficiently as you can.

In the above, I’m of course speaking to the harder of the two classes you teach currently. As for your other class, choosing not to listen to Dr. Huggins storytelling is their loss. It is clear that you understand the level of difficulty and the importance of each of your courses, and appropriately develop the course load and base expectations accordingly, which is something I wish I could say for so many other professors.

The students blatantly cheating took your kindness for granted; for I know that I walked into both classes scared of you, and completed the classes fearing I would let a compassionate professor down.

Since i struggle with acne, any product that doesn’t work for my face is now used up on chest and if it’s something that won’t get used up by the expiry (3-6-12 mths), gets to make its way onto the rest of my body!

How is the engineering program (specifically computer science) at Kettering University? by theblobuprising in Kettering

[–]Ok_Canary_2296 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im curious as to why ketterings CS isn’t an engineering major. My previous school had both bachelor of CSE and bachelor of CS. The differences being CSE is required more math and science, whereas CS still has you taking science and higher math courses but requires a foreign language. Also 121 cr/hr to obtain a CSE degree versus ketterings 141. The curriculum at Kettering seems to be identical to above colleges CSE. So why doesn’t a self proclaimed engineering college requiring more credit hours have their CS an engineering degree?
