Were expectations set ahead of time? (don't cheat?) If so, he's actually the best kind of teacher: allowing them to experience the real world but with soft consequences.
Why does the expectation of not cheating matter when the claim that they cheated is itself in doubt? As far as we know, the students are being punished for the teacher's incompetence, not the consequences of their cheating.
Yes, the real world, where a professor decides an entire class cheated because ChatGPT said so (lol. lmao even). I guess it is a good introduction to dealing with capricious idiots
The real world where someone in power claims everyone they are responsible for educating is cheating in the 11th hour, provides no evidence and refuses to pass them even though they paid thousands of dollars?
