> FWIW: When I was in undergrad, the students who showed up only for exams and sat in the back of the room were not cheating, and still ended up with some of the best scores.

For many classes this is still the case, and I lump these folks in with the great students. They still care about learning the material.

My experience has been that these students are super common in required undergrad classes and not at all common in the graduate-level electives that I’ve seen this happening in.

Good to know. What’ve you focused on when you’re hiring?
