Is it even useful to report cheating anymore? I'm taking my 8th course since the Covid-19 shutdown of universities has forced everyone to come home. When looking up stuff, I have inevitably come across almost all the questions from psets, quizzes, tests, etc posted to Chegg, where I presume other students are cheating. I am 100% sure these are from the current term's class questions, as the questions are usually rewritten every term by the profs in my department and are posted as a picture, so sometimes one can even see the header for the current term (not to mention the picture is directly of the question paper). I think at this point it is a fair assumption to make that there is cheating going on.
In my first 7 courses, I reported this, to varying degrees of success. All the professors tried to address this, but some basically told me even they couldn't do much about it. Even after the &quot;mass cleansing&quot; that happened after each of these reports, almost every question I searched about could be found on Chegg.
My 8th course just started and I'm already seeing questions on Chegg. I understand the professor's predicament of them not being able to do anything and don't want to become the student constantly pointing out flaws in their enforcement of academic misconduct (as doing this would probably cause the prof to grow to resent me through misattribution of arousal). However, it's extremely frustrating to slog out a class and be working 16 hour days when others are cheating their way through a course (not to mention destroying the curve, making it even harder for me).
At this point, does it even make sense to report this to the prof?
I phrased the question title as such because I suspect many others are going through the same problem during Covid-19
In general it is useful to report cheating.  Some institutions require students to report it.
In this case, however, you do not know who cheated and faculty have already made reasonable efforts to make cheating harder.  The information you are providing is not doing anything to reduce cheating, so you can stop reporting it.
