About this episode

Phil Black discusses Princeton's recent policy change regarding test administration and the implications for students.

In today's episode, I comment on Princeton's recent policy change when it comes to test administration. Princeton students will no longer be allowed to take exams without proctors walking the aisles. For 133 years, the "honor system" was sufficient to keep students from cheating on exams. Not anymore. Smartphones and AI have made cheating so easy, even the students at Princeton can't help themselves. What will this mean for your child if they go to Princeton? or any other college?
