I work in on-line education and it is absolutely possible, and very hard to prove, as, as Aims says, students can log in from anywhere. The idea is that we're adults, and want to learn, so won't cheat. We are dealing with students sharing tests right now for an on-line class, and it is really difficult to prove.

Remember that student of my sister's from last week who had the right answers to the other version of the exam and said he didn't cheat and copy off someone else, but was "lucky" and "guessed"? He showed up to the mediation with his mother and his lawyer. My sister ended up giving him last year's test to take immediately, and he got something like a 49%. She figures that's the last she'll hear from him.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
(Please to know I was kidding about having someone take my exam for me. I get very very frustrated with math sometimes.)

I laffed and laffed... thinking, "oh, yes... this is the way to help your kids to independence."

Aims, I'm married to an actuary and I don't remember the quadratic equation. I know you're kidding. It's ok.
Come to think of it, I married an actuary so I'd NEVER have to do math again.

Cashmere is me, substituting chemist for actuary.

I don't remember the quadratic equation.
You know you can sing it to "Pop Goes the Weasel," right?
First you take the negative b
Plus or minus square root
B squared minus 4 a c
All over 2 a.

Hee. I learned almost the same quadratic formula song as Emily, except we learned it as "x is equal to negative b, plus or minus the square root of," etc.
When I went Passover shopping this year, they were out of the brands of matzo I usually get, so I bought some British brand. They're thinner than I'm used to, and rectangular instead of square. Interesting.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
When I was in high school and I couldn't get to sleep, sometimes I'd derive the quadratic equation in my head....
I found it a little annoying in HS math where we spent several days solving quadratic equations before they showed us the formula, which suddenly made things much easier. But then I just figured "that's the way math is...."
