Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I’m currently taking a lower level class at my university which meets twice a week for a lecture and once a week for a smaller discussion based class. During the lecture we have online simulations or questions assigned as a different way to take attendance and counts as participation. During the discussion we complete a fairly easy worksheet and turn it in with out names on it for attendance and participation. 

There was a GroupMe created at the beginning of the year and it was used for asking general questions regarding the class. Recently people have started asking to be notified of when the in class simulations are active so they can complete them from home instead of coming to class. Originally I didn’t find this to be a big issue since it was only occasionally happening, but as of this week people have been offering to pay people to write their names down for discussion and the number of people asking has grown increasingly. It’s started to bother me since those who don’t put in the effort to show up to class are receiving the same points as those who willing to actually participate. 

WIBTA for notifying the professor and potentially leading these classmates to receiving sanctions for academic dishonesty?
