Reducing cheating students
When I think of cheating, it is not only cheating during quizzes and test. I really get frustrated with sutdents who think they can just copy from their classmates homework and think not get caught. No matter how much I emphasize that the homeworks, lab practicals, quizzes and tests are not just given for them to get a grade and pass. These exercises are given to students so we can see where they need help and where we can focus so we can clarify any questions that they might help.
I do not think the students realize that whatever they learn in class will be the basis of their success in life.
Hi Marlo,
Cheating is cheating, no matter what the assignment is. Students have to begin to realize there are no shortcuts in life; you have to work hard for what you want, and honesty is the best policy.

Hi James,
It does work. Most of the time, just by students knowing that they are being watched deters cheating.

A method to use to discourage cheating is to stand in the back of the class room and occasionally walk through the class room until the students have finished taking the test.
The above method works.
