I have copied the source code of a test from Blackboard and then once I received the answers went back to the source code and looked extensively for any patterns or arrays and have not found any and believe me I have spent many hours looking. I have also read on other websites that the answers are kept on a “server”. But I am not sure about that.

It is unfortunate when assholes like Octel come to a forum and make statements and then not give any details or even respond to others requests. This would have been a nice bit of information to share with others but as I said, I doubt Octel’s claim.

I not not savy like all of you and could use your expertise. I need to take an exam in Blackboard and am up against a terrible time line. Can someone help me to get through this one test? Thank you.

It was easy to modify the function to work in reverse and process the entire array. I got an A+! It was a terrible and useless class anyway :(

Some of the comments are more interesting than the article. I’m not usually one to spit on nostalgia, but come on people… I’d like to see more modern day hacking/cheating systems. Hacking circa 1993 is too lame.

In a number of college History classes (online at a community college) I have found that the instructors will create Tests from the quizzes that were done online. So something like of the 5 quizzes 5 question would be part of the test. The quizzes (being all online) were not counted and gave you the answers after the quiz had been completed. ie: number 1 is correct, number 2 is incorrect, the correct answer is b. So on.
So when you finished the quiz, I printed out the quiz answers and saved them. Come test time, I look at the question, found the corresponding quiz question and answered it correctly.
Paying attention to lecture, and use multiple tabs in Firefox, I could easily answer the essay questions. Those classes were easy A’s.

Same thing with some of the low level English classes. They had grammar questions. All online. I would do the same thing another poster commented.

Online classes make almost too easy to cheat in some form or another. I know that I’m the one “loosing” but really, I’m not.
