Cheating
Hello,
I tell my students that cheating if they have to cheat they do not know the material, and they paid for nothing.
Hi John,
Great reverse psychology! This is very true!

I like that. I have to say I have also told them I don't care if you cheat. You are not cheating me. You only Cheat yourself and your the one who has to be employable when you leave here. You can choose the job you want or the job you have to take. These are things that happen when you Cheat yourself.
I usually try to play up the "its disrespectful to the other students" card. This often allows others to report cheaters.

I must agree with you. I always tell my students that cheating is not the right thing to do and that cheating will show them how much they do not know once they are in the workplace.
Having a good control over the class and observing students closely while they are taking a test, reduces the chance for cheating. The students who are used to cheat, next time come more prepared because they know that they can not cheat.
I am able to scramble the test for my students.
Cheating does not help anyohne, however, today in our society we give credit to team work. People are assigned on teams and have little to no contribution. They get the same credit for work that they did not do. We teach this concept in the classroom and students think that tests are group projects. The best way to eliminate cheating is to have two or three different tests maybe even the same one but questions in different order.
I announce to my students never to trust the person they are sitting next to for answer: they are students just like them and they are not quite the experts that they are learning to be.
alot of times they feel that thier back in high school and that they can get by with the same behavior they had then
