I am trying to cut down on a particular kind of cheating during my in-class exams. What some students are doing is taking pictures of the exam (while I am looking somewhere else), and uploading them to Chegg. Then, looking back later at the solutions posted by "tutors". I've cut down on this in a variety of ways, but it still occurs.
I use LaTeX to generate the exams. I would like to embed a unique number into every LaTeX document so that if someone takes a picture of it, I will be able to associate that number with a particular person (by looking at their exam when the turn it in).
The way I envision this is a simple tag in the LaTeX code, like
randomnumberseed
which I can compile with
latex doc.tex -option=seed
I would then write a script to do this for like 100 exams, just a loop
for i=0,n
latex doc-i.tex option=seed+i
(or something).
Anyone have a method for doing this? Or a better way to achieve what I want?
