                   COVID, the new mother of invention.

In the time of COVID, university exams are being conducted on-line
and this has produced a novel way for students to cheat.  At Akdeniz
University's medical school in Antalya, a cheating technique that 
would make James Bond proud was encountered. 

According to Prof.Dr. Murat Turhan, "the student in question 
appeared on screen before his teachers and then took the 120-question
test using his mouse to select his answers.  It seemed like everything
went according to the normal procedures and I even reported this 
result."  

"However (!), when the system was checked afterwards it turned out
that there were four different IP addresses linked to the student's
computer, so there were 480 records for 120 questions.  The four
friends secretly collaborated to answer all the questions.   We had
to cancel the test and the student was admonished.  In the University
Senate, we've decided on measures to handle such cheating incidents." 

















              Upon graduation, he'll play a doctor on TV.
