This was a comment but deserves its own post

A friend of mine had to make a pacman AI for a course and was required to have a partner.

So he asked the laziest, never in class guy for his studentnumber.
For every assignment he put that guys name and number on it. And he gave decent partner reviews.

His AI was the best of the whole year. The professor asked him to the front of the college room (with every AI student there, except his "partner"). My friend then thanked his partner, "he wouldn't be there without him".
Every student there laughed their ass off since they all knew that he soloed it.
The professor had no clue

At the end of the year my friend made that guy complete 3 courses without him knowing

    @kerrermanisNL And sad that the solo student doesn't learn cooperation. Cow-boy devs are often a liability to companies.

    @enen he needs a partner for the assignments. School would want you to work together properly, so if it turns out that he is doing everything by himself, that will probably not end in a positive way for either of them

    Maybe he paid...

    @kerrermanisNL one other reason to do this was to show that the school system is flawed.
    He did this with as many subject as he could.

    Once he just wrote on a test how the subject marking was flawed. He got a 1 (out of 10) but still completed the course. The year after they removed the flaw.
