2012 Harvard cheating scandal
The 2012 Harvard cheating scandal involved approximately 125 Harvard College students who were investigated for cheating on the take-home final examination of the spring 2012 edition of Government 1310: "Introduction to Congress". Harvard announced the investigation publicly on August 30, 2012. Dean of Undergraduate Education Jay M. Harris described the case as "unprecedented in its scope and magnitude".〔〔 ''The Harvard Crimson'' ranked the scandal as the news story most important to Harvard in 2012.
A teaching fellow noticed similarities between a small number of exams during grading in May 2012.〔〔 〕 The course's professor brought the case to the Harvard College Administrative Board, which reviewed all final exams, leading to individual cases against nearly half of the 279 students enrolled in the class, almost two percent of the undergraduate student body.〔〔〔 The administrative board completed its investigation in December 2012. On February 1, 2013 Harvard revealed that "somewhat more than half" of the students, estimated at 70 were forced to withdraw.
==Government 1310: "Introduction to Congress"==
Government 1310: "Introduction to Congress" was led by assistant professor Matthew B. Platt in Spring 2010, 2011, and 2012. The course was offered to students of Harvard College and Harvard Extension School. It developed a reputation as an easy course, receiving a high proportion of "easy" or "very easy" ratings in the ''Q Guide'', Harvard's collection of course evaluations.〔 According to some Spring 2012 students, Platt immediately confirmed this reputation by promising 120 A's and stating that attendance was optional.〔〔〔 Students who attended could share their notes.〔
Grades were determined by four take-home exams.〔〔 In 2010 and 2011, the take-home exams were essays, but in 2012 they were changed to a short answer format.〔 The change corresponded with a spike in difficulty and a drop in overall score, according to the ''Q Guide''.〔 Students said the short answer format facilitated collaboration.〔〔 Some guessed that the changes were forced from above.〔
