Reading about the TCU case, Genelle Belmas, associate professor in media law at the University of Kansas, decided to check Quizlet out. Īt least one professor has already discovered her exams on Quizlet. Students don't use these so they can hide from obvious searches. Also, don't just search using your name, class, college. In another tweet, Stewart warned that “all profs should be on notice - just expect that your exams have been stolen and posted on Quizlet or elsewhere.”Īll profs should be on notice - just expect that your exams have been stolen & posted on Quizlet or elsewhere. “I find a moral flaw in the argument that if a prof has a copy of his/her exam from a previous semester stolen and posted on Quizlet, students who knowingly use and pass around a secret link to it are innocent because it’s the prof’s fault for not changing the exam,” he said in a tweet. Stewart was not permitted to comment for this article, but he said on Twitter that the professor in this case was not at fault for not changing the questions in the exam. Chip Stewart, associate dean and professor of journalism at TCU, is the administrator handling the academic misconduct case. CBS News reported that their professor said the students had a duty to say that they recognized the questions.Ī TCU spokesperson said the students’ appeal process is ongoing. The students are contesting the decision, saying that they used Quizlet to study but didn’t know that the questions they were seeing would be on their final. Other students openly tweeted about using Quizlet to cheat - either opening Quizlet in another browser while taking an online test, or studying questions on Quizlet in advance that they knew were likely to be on their test.Īt Texas Christian University last week, news broke that 12 students were suspended after allegedly using Quizlet to cheat on a final. “When you Google one question and find a quizlet for the whole test,” says another above a picture of a cartoon cat dying and going to heaven. "Yeah sex is cool and all but have you ever found your entire final on quizlet ,” asks one student in a tweet. But some students are also using the tool to upload questions from real exams, and other students are finding them. It’s very popular with students, and many are likely using the site legitimately.

Quizlet is a free app (that makes money from advertising and paid subscriptions for additional features) for making flash cards and online quizzes, which can be used privately or shared publicly. Shout out “to Quizlet for making this possible,” says another, above a picture of a student in their graduation cap and gown.

“Today I graduated and I couldn’t have done it without God and Quizlet,” says one tweet. Many students graduated last week, and on Twitter, many thanked the free app Quizlet for getting them there.
