I’ve started using the respondus platform in my online course last week.

Before that, average grade on quizzes was about ~5 out of 5.

Now, it is 2.5 out of 5. This shows that they heavily relied on AI to get the answers right.

Conclusion: many students will drop and/or fail. Please, don’t ask me for retention efforts.
