cheater
Some times the cheater gets kicked out of school.
PUNISH! PUNISH! Students are a chair apart and I definitely walk around when testing.
Our campus has a pretty strict policy on cheating, in my experenice proof is always the hardest to prove. It will always be your word against thiers. They will almost always atack your teaching style and in some case's your charector. Alway give the benifit of the doubt and keep to your guns.
Hi Laquita,
In the long run the student will definitely suffer from cheating. The student is only hurting himself or herself.

We all cannot catch cheaters all the time. But cheating when caught, will earn a "O" with possible suspension or withdrawal from school. I believe that cheating will catch up to the student in the long run whether you catch it now or not.
Hi Klaus,
Having the student repeat the course with another instructor is not a bad idea at all. There are several good reasons as you have stated.

I agree with you that the Student should repeat the course but if possible with another Insructor for several reasons. If this Student comes back to me I may spent too much time on him /her which takes that time away from others.
The Student may become aware of the fact that cheating is a waste of time and prepare better for the test.
Hi Christine,
Does you institution have an honor code policy, and if so what is it? If you don't have one, and you had to write one, what would you like it to say?
Patricia
That is a great way to handle the cheating on written exams. I have always had private conversations with the students, but the public forum is far more powerful, both for the cheater nad for the other students in the class.
Hi Dee,
You're right, those nursing students must know their information. It is awful when any student cheats. If the student is caught, the student should be remprimanded to the fullest extent.
Patricia
I couldn't agree more, and I applaud you for taking the test away from the student when you saw him cheating. This has to be dealt with directly and quickly - and the penalty needs to be severe. I teach nursing students, and I definitely cannot take a chance that a student passed my course on someone else's merit!

Hello Harold,
He really hurt himself, and you reprimanded him rightfully so. Cheating gets you no where. It amazes me how adults would attempt to cheat.... so sad.
Patricia
Students that cheat only cheat themselves. They are lazy and could care less how they glean the information to pass a course. I have only had one person who I saw cheating and his test was taken from him while others watched, he received a zero for the test and did not have enough points to pass the class. He had to repeat the class at extra expense.
Hi Diane,
Were these students reprimanded for being caught with the Final Exam? Very smart of you to give them a different exam. Sometimes students think they can be smarter than the insructor. We always have to try to be a step a head of our students.
Patricia
Well I was put into a situation with cheating on the final exam. Several students were caught with the exam and another Chef Instructor caught them. Little did they know I was advise of the situation. So the day of the final they were given another exam, and were they shocked. At the end of the school year, several of them came to me and confused.
Hello Chad,
Absolutely, for every choice there is a consequence. If student is caught cheated, they should be held accountable.
Patricia
I always make it very clear on what the policy's are and what the outcome will be be if caught.Then there is not a question of whether it is right or wrong.
Hi Kris,
Some type of action must be taken. At my institution at a minimum, students must repeat the course as you have indicated.
Patricia
I feel that the minimum is to repeat the course.
