It is not cheating. This professor is lazy! It probably took those students forever to go through all those questions and more effort that those didn't. If he wants to stop cheating then next time take the effort to write his own exams.
I agree with the poster above, exam scores don't really reflect the student's mastery of the material, so why is this such an important issue?
Oh yeah, the other 2/3 of the class who didn't "cheat"? They probably just couldn't get a copy of the test bank. Were they rewarded for being honest? Nope, they got punished along with the cheaters, had to take the exam again. I'm sure this time many of them will consider using that test bank :D
This professor is bluffing. Like he said, he can estimate who cheated but he can never be certain. Calling it "forensic analysis" sounds scary enough. I don't even bother to cheat on exams because having a high GPA means little to me.
For those of you who are against blaming professors/schools, a lot of them really don't put in effort to actually teach well. It's the always the same thing around exam time: binge and purge. A hundred multiple choice questions that tests your memorization skills, not how well you know the material.
