Student Cheating

There is a listserv that I belong to that has had a short but productive thread on some videos posted to YouTube concerning student cheating. There are mixed reviews on their quality but after I reviewed them I thought the time was well spent reflecting on how students may be cheating in my classes on assignments in general -- especially my online exams although not covered specifically.

This video demonstrates the top ten ways students cheat alone or with help from others during an exam:

This is another video that has similar cheating techniques and a couple new ones over the first:

Also note that when watching either video there is a box to the right of the one playing that has other videos on cheating that you can watch if you have time. Ten minutes of your time reflecting on student teaching will be well worth it.
