I’m not sure about now, but when I was in school (15yrs) homework was only a small percentage of your final semester grade. It was how was how well you did on the weekly tests and finals that determined your grade. If you didn’t do your homework but tested well, it generally proved that you might know your stuff. Unless you found a way to consistently cheat. Either way, it would be impressive.
If none of those variables were obvious, and you suddenly improved on an assignment, or a test, it would be suspicious. Or if you did homework consistently but tested poorly, it usually meant you’re not retaining the information or someone is doing it for you.
Nowadays, I imagine that if you could use ChatGPT to cheat on a test, it means something is wrong with how they’re being conducted.
