...you lack many details...
This is a late post on this thread...I just now came across these messages.
The public announcement as posted in the news media was flat out wrong. The exams were NOT conducted outside of the classrooms. The exams were proctored and in the classrooms. The news article stated the exams were conducted on the Cadets' own time and un-proctored. That was not true. The Cadets were given practice assignments using the exact same software to complete in their dorm rooms, un-proctored. But the exams were later conducted in the classrooms. The news articles were fundamentally flawed in their reporting on this issue.
As some of you noted earlier, very important details never made it into the public media. Therefore, your discussions are fundamentally flawed, no fault of your own. Please don't assume that the teachers and mentors are ignorant and foolish. They are dealing with a generation of young people that probably cheated on exams while in High School.
