  14. Teachers

  15. “ – unreasonable assignments, the poor quality of teaching, and unclear instructions on major assignments were mentioned frequently by students.”

  16. “I have witnessed cheating on several occasions and even reported it to the professors. On one occasion I was told no action was going to be taken against them since they were doing a poor job of cheating”

  17. “Faculty need to be more active in monitoring academic dishonesty as well as punishing those students that participate in it. Facutly often turn their heads or “Punish” on their own terms rather than follow university policy.”

  18. The institution

  19. Course design strategies

  20. Avoid war on cheating

  21. “…students at schools with high levels of self-reported cheating often discuss the issue of academic dishonesty in terms of a ‘we’ versus ‘they’ mentality. Cheat by us (students) is acceptable because they (faculty and/or administrators) ‘deserve’ it for any number of reasons” (McCabe and Trevino, 1993)

  22. Process documents • Reflections • Drafts (Annotated bibliography, thesis statement, etc.) • Multiple assessments • Oral reports (process questions) Courtesy of TurnItIn.com

  23. High-Stakes Assessments

  24. Make connections • Why are students doing this assessment?

  25. “Students are also taught that collaboration is a critical business skill that is valued in corporations. Yet, students are often required to complete assignments by themselves with no outside assistance.” (McCabe, Butterfield, and Trevino, 2006)

  26. Statement • Usually placed in syllabus. Good idea to have it in Canvas if you are using it. • Consult with department if unsure about language. • Custom TurnItIn statement
