More than 90 med students were caught cheating online, school officials says.

More than ninety students -- 83% of the freshmen and sophomores at Inha University's School of Medicine in Incheon -- were found to have been taking advantage of remote learning arrangements to cheat on online exams since March, school officials said.

"Some of us did expect this to happen because no one is out here to monitor us when taking tests or attending classes," Mary Cho, a senior at the university, told ABC News."We doubted the level of transparency of online midterm exams earlier before this incident was officially reported." A teacher gives an online class at school, amid the coronavirus disease outbreak, in Seoul, South Korea, April 9, 2020."Exams are to help students develop skills in their major, so it's difficult to imagine students cheating," said Sogang University professor Seong Bongjoon, whose students heard about the incident and wanted to make sure their school ensured a level playing field.

Officials at Inha University have formed a disciplinary committee to address the cheating. All students determined to have cheated are being given zeros and must perform community service and receive counseling from professors in charge, officials said.

They are going to be great doctors. 🤔 Brain surgery- “wait - what did I do with my cheat sheet.”

Does cheating even matter these days?

Hi. I see you wrote 'South Korea' but did you know that Koreans don't really like it when you specify 'South' when it's not totally necessary to what you're saying? It's a painful and unwelcome reminder of our divided country. Please consider this in the future. 감사합니다!

It doesn’t matter. We need doctors. Who cares if they cheat on a test or two? Learning comes from real experience not some multiple choice tests.

Those are the doctors I want.. anything to get the job done

it's funny that first people come to my mind is Trump when I see the word cheating
